One fan, in reply to the post, dubbed Lehmann the Cristiano Ronaldo of women’s football. The comment was possibly inspired by her Instagram clout rather than footballing achievements, as Ronaldo is the most followed individual on the app with over 600 million followers and enjoys an influence like no other.
