"We do the same job, but Douglas earns a hundred thousand times more than me"

The driving force for change in the way women's football is perceived by the rest of the public is already a reality. The changes are evident and the inequalities have been reduced over the years. However, there are still some areas where improvements are needed and one of them is in pay.
A reason that has angered popular Juventus player Alisha Lehmann, who expressed her dissatisfaction with this in an interview for 'La Repubblica': "Everyone would like to have the same salary. I often speak to Douglas at home about this and tell him it's not fair," she said.
"We do the same job, but he gets paid a hundred times more than me. It's something that affects me because I'm a woman. Obviously, there's still a long way to go on the path we're on because there may never be equal pay.
"There will have to be a very strong will to make a change in this direction. If someone comes to me with jokes, I always ask them 'Have you ever seen a match?' Probably not, because when you see a match you realise how good and passionate we are," Lehmann concluded.
