"Keogh: I genuinely believe Dumornay will be a top 10 player sooner rather than later. What sets her apart isn't just the flair, the flamboyant finishes or the fancy footwork -- though she certainly has those in her locker. It's the way she masters the fundamentals: her presence, physicality, intelligent movement off the ball, and clinical, simple finishing. These are the details that elevate her game. We've seen top players lose their edge when they stray from the basics, but Dumornay is doing the opposite and she's building on them."
"Her football IQ, relentless work ethic, and sharp reading of the game are driving her development at a remarkable pace. Dumornay was a standout in 2023, and she's only continued to rise. With Lyonnes looking so strong, 2025 could very well cement her as a top star. It's unfortunate that lower-ranked nations often struggle to gain recognition in the global rankings, though. Haiti's limited international presence could unfairly hold her back, despite her individual brilliance."
Matchday One of the UEFA Women's Champions League featured exciting matchups and set early table dynamics. Barcelona, Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid occupied the top three positions after impressive opening wins. Manchester United was the only Women's Super League team to secure three points on Matchday One. Melchie Dumornay scored twice in OL Lyonnes' win at Arsenal and displayed fundamentals such as presence, physicality, intelligent off-the-ball movement, and clinical finishing. Her football IQ, relentless work ethic and game reading have accelerated her development, while limited international exposure for Haiti could hinder wider ranking recognition despite individual excellence.
