Lieke Elisabeth Petronella Martens (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈlikə ʔeːˈlisaːbɛt peːtroːˈnɛlaː ˈmɑrtəns]; born 16 December 1992) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a winger or midfielder for Division 1 Féminine club Paris Saint-Germain and the Netherlands national team. Martens began her professional career playing for Dutch, German and Belgian clubs relatively close to her hometown of Bergen, Limburg. In 2015, Martens broke out on the international stage when she scored the Netherlands’ first ever goal in a Women's World Cup against New Zealand. Weeks after her signing at FC Barcelona was made official, Martens participated in the Netherlands' 2017 UEFA Women's Euro campaign. She was the Netherlands' standout player at that year's Euro, where the Dutch won their first ever major international title with the women's national team. Her successes that year skyrocketed her to international fame, as she emerged as one of the biggest names in women's football and one of the most famous female athletes in the world. In 2018, Forbes ranked her Number 22 in their "Most Powerful Women in International Sports" list. In the 2018–19 season, Martens helped FC Barcelona to their first ever UEFA Women's Champions League final, where she assisted their only goal in a 4–1 defeat to Olympique Lyonnais. Months later, she played in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, where she fought through a toe injury for most of the tournament. In 2021, Martens was an essential part of FC Barcelona Femení completing their first continental treble, winning the UEFA Women's Champions League, the Primera Division, and the Copa de la Reina all in the same season. At thirteen, she went to Boxmeer club Olympia '18 [nl] at the insistence of then national-team coach Vera Pauw, where she played with teams of boys. Martens continued playing football in the Netherlands when she joined the newly-formed VVV-Venlo women's team, based in her hometown province of Limburg. In her first official match with Standard she scored two goals to help win her first major title, the newly founded BeNe Super Cup. Barcelona won 2–0, but the win wasn't enough to secure a league title, and they finished second place for the fourth season in a row. Similarly to the 2019–20 UEFA Women's Champions League, the 2019–20 Copa de la Reina was pushed back a year, and was completed in the middle of the 2020–21 season. In the 2021 Copa de la Reina, Martens played in the quarterfinals of the competition against Sevilla, where she was subbed on in the 60th minute and assisted Caroline Graham Hansen's goal that put Barcelona 4–1 up. In the same month, she was nominated as a finalist for the UEFA Women's Player of the Year Award for the second time in her career, alongside Barcelona teammates Alexia Putellas and Jenni Hermoso. In June 2013, national team coach Roger Reijners selected Martens in the Netherlands squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013 in Sweden. The Dutch beat the Italians on an aggregate score of 3–2, with Martens assisting Vivianne Miedema's tie-winning goal in the second leg, sending them to compete in their first ever Women's World Cup tournament. Martens started the 2019 Women's World Cup Final regardless, but had a hard head-to-head collision with United States defender Kelley O'Hara that caused them to both be down on the pitch for a few minutes.
