Cristiana Girelli (born 23 April 1990) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Serie A club Juventus and the Italy women's national team.

Girelli joined Juventus in 2018, after five seasons with Brescia.[1] She was the second top scorer of the 2014–15 season with 27 goals,[2] the top scorer of the 2019–20 season with 16 goals,[3] and the top scorer of the 2020–21 season.[3]

International career

She made her debut for the senior Italian national team in a March 2013 friendly against England,[4] and soon afterwards she was selected for the 2013 UEFA Euro's final tournament. She led the Italian scoring in the qualifiers for the 2017 UEFA Euro, where she scored a late winner against Olympic runner-up Sweden. She has also been an Under-19 international.[5]

In Italy's first game of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, Girelli scored the only goal against Argentina.[6]
