Among Abily’s many attributes as a footballer, she may be most fondly remembered on the international stage for her free-kicks. Some spectacular and some that play such an important role for France, like most recently her free-kick in the final minutes of the game against Switzerland, that kept France’s Euro 2017 dream alive.
