Alisha Lehmann, a women’s football star followed by more than 17 million subscribers on Instagram, complained about the pay gap between her and her partner Douglas Luiz, even though they both play for Juventus Turin.

“After training, I often tell Douglas that it’s not fair. We do the same job, but he earns a hundred thousand times more than me.
