Playing against Azerbaijan, she celebrated her 50th cap for Switzerland with an impressive 4-0 victory in a Euro 2025 qualifier.
Known not only for her skills on the field but also for her popularity off it, Lehmann graciously spent time with fans after the game, even taking selfies with some lucky supporters.
However, when one fan requested her shirt as a souvenir, she politely declined, expressing her regret with a simple, “I can’t, I’m sorry.”
