"Kelly played a starring role in England's back-to-back Women's European Championship wins, shooting to international fame at the Lionesses' home tournament in 2022. Her extra-time goal to defeat Germany in the final was the biggest women's football moment Wembley has ever seen, yet she somehow managed to outdo herself in Switzerland three years later."
"Along with Michelle Agyemang, Kelly's extraordinary ability to influence matches from the bench was the secret sauce of England's success. Late goals were the order of the day and Kelly made them and scored them, notably against Italy in the semi-final in Basel."
"The Lionesses striker has been rendered in miniature doll form, becoming a footballing Barbie in full England kit. Kelly and other sporting stars have been immortalised by Mattel ahead of the annual day of recognition, which falls this year on Sunday, March 8."
Chloe Kelly, England and Arsenal forward, has been honored by Mattel with a custom Barbie doll in recognition of International Women's Day on March 8. Kelly joins other sporting icons including Serena Williams and Smriti Mandhana in this celebration of women excelling in their industries. Kelly's remarkable career includes being a Champions League winner with Arsenal and a key player in England's consecutive Women's European Championship triumphs. Her extra-time goal against Germany in the 2022 final at Wembley marked a historic moment for women's football. Kelly's ability to impact matches from the bench, scoring crucial late goals including against Italy in the semi-final, proved instrumental in England's tournament success.
