Pernille Harder continues to set the benchmark in Danish football by being named the country's Player of the Year for a record ninth time in 2025. The forward received her award on Sunday ahead of FC Bayern Women's Bundesliga game against Hamburg at the FC Bayern Campus. The 33-year-old helped Bayern to a first-ever domestic double in 2024/25 and also won the Supercup

In Madrid, Bayern looked the stronger side, but got off to a horrendous start. Glódís Perla Viggósdóttir was called for a penalty for what looked to be fairly incidental contact with her elbow as she jostled with an attacker in the box, and the visitors found themselves in a hole inside of 15 minutes as a result. The fight-back was there, though, and though the half ended 1-0 it eventually paid dividends.

"She is a role model. A lot of young girls in Denmark are starting to wear her name on the back of her shirt. They know who she is."
