Because in the 4: 5 lost penalty shootout in the semifinals against Spain, she, who was the last shooter, was the only French woman to miss. At the U-20 World Cup in 2016 , she played all six games, half of them in the starting line-up, scored one goal and was runner-up.

For her first appointment to the senior national team, the ambitious Marie-Charlotte Léger, who says her main goal is to participate in the 2019 World Cup in her own country , came in September 2015 as coach Philippe Bergeroo the 19-year-old against Brazil for the final seconds substituted in; she didn't have a single ball contact.
