Early life


At the age of four, Berger began playing football in the KSG Eislingen. As a teenager, she moved to FV Faurndau.


Club career


In 2007, she moved up to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg. A year later, Berger moved to second division side, VfL Sindelfingen.[3] In the summer of 2011, Berger signed a three-year contract with 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam in the Frauen-Bundesliga, the top division in Germany.[3] She made her debut for the club on 21 August 2011 and shut out Hamburger SV 4–0.[4] She made five appearances for the club during the 2011/2012 season playing a total of 450 minutes. Potsdam finished first in the league with an 18–2–2 record.[5] She was the starting goalkeeper in three of Potsdam's 2011–12 UEFA Women's Champions League matches helping the squad earn shut-outs against Þór Akureyri and Glasgow City F.C.[4][6]

Berger signed with Paris Saint-Germain in June 2014, playing 22 matches in all competitions during her two-year spell with the club.[7] In June 2016, she joined Birmingham City.[8]

In November 2017, Berger was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.[9] She made a full recovery. During her battle with cancer, she had a desire to continue playing football. On 4 February 2018, she made her first appearance since being diagnosed with cancer in the Fourth Round of the 2017–18 FA Women's Cup in an away match against Reading. Birmingham won 1–0. With her strong determination she had a brilliant season, and as a result she won the PFA Team of the Year Award.[10]

Berger continued her strong return in 2018, helping Birmingham City to a fourth-place standing after midway point of the 2018–19 FA WSL season. Having run down her contract at Birmingham City and rejected a new offer,[11] she joined reigning champions Chelsea on 4 January 2019.[12] Chelsea manager Emma Hayes signed her as part of the team rebuild even though Chelsea had 3 other goalkeepers on their roster.[13]

In April 2021, Berger made title winning saves away against Manchester City in a 2–2 draw, as Chelsea fought to preserve their lead at the top of the table.[14] Chelsea and manager Emma Hayes later won their 4th WSL title, the most by any WSL team, by 2 points on the final day of the 2020–21 season with a 5–0 victory over Reading. Chelsea broke the records for most wins (18) and most points (57) in a season, and became just the third team to defend the League title after Liverpool and Arsenal. Berger registered the most clean sheets (12), winning the Golden Glove.[15] On 23 August 2022 Berger announced, that she is suffering from thyroid cancer again.[16] A little over a month later, on the 25 September, Berger gave her comback against Manchester City.[17]


International career


Berger received her first call-up to the Germany national team in November 2018.[12]
