Club career

Perle Morroni joined the women's football department at Montpellier HSC as a child . From 2007 she played for two years for the Association Sportive in neighboring Lattes and then returned to the MHSC. She was barely 15 when she was accepted into the Paris Saint-Germain FC youth performance center in 2012 . There she quickly became a youth national player (see below) , and shortly after her 17th birthday, she made her debut in a point game against AF Rodez , in which she was substituted on for Kenza Dali , then also in PSG's first division women. In the same 2014/15 season , Morroni later came to two more missions, in which coach Farid Benstiti even left her on the field for the full game. In the following season she played seven league games, scored two goals and also represented the colors of the capital city club in four European Cup games , including the two semi-finals against Olympique Lyon . At the same time she was still active for PSG's A youth team.

A year later she was even in the Champions League final , in which Benstiti's successor Patrice Lair substituted her for Eve Périsset before the upcoming extension . In the subsequent penalty shoot-out , however, the opponents from Lyon once again had the upper hand.

2017/18 was followed by a year of setbacks for Morroni. At PSG she only played one competitive game due to an injury during the first half of the season, after which the club loaned her to FC Barcelona for six months during the winter transfer period . Although she was the Spanish runner- up with the Catalans , she didn't make it a regular player there either, but was only considered five times in the league eleven. This only changed after her return to Paris . where she developed more consistency of performance, so that the new PSG coach Olivier Echouafni has hardly renounced Morroni's participation since then. Her strength lies in the versatility with which the only 1.57 m tall field player can be used: she is almost an all-rounder , which she does in attack , in midfield as well as in defense - and most recently on the left flank. has already proven.
