Alisha Lehmann, previously dubbed the 'world's sexiest footballer' was part of the side which took the lead through Alayah Pilgrim before conceding seven goals in a row to the youth team. The defeat was their second to an Under-15 side in their Euro 2025 preparations having also lost 2-1 to FC Solothurn. Footage of the match circulated on social media and reportedly received 70, 000 views on Tik Tok before being deleted. Switzerland played a second-string team, with boss Pia Sundhage fielding 26 players, including third choice goalkeeper Nadine Böhi. Swiss Football Association media spokesperson Sven Micossé told Blick: 'It's not uncommon in women's football to compete against junior teams. Switzerland's women's team lost 7-1 to male Under-15 side FC Luzern ahead of the Euros 'World's sexiest footballer' Alisha Lehmann was part of the squad which fell to the 7-1 loss The Juventus forward was a last minute addition to Pia Sundhage's Swiss Euros 2025 squad 'The goal: to bring a certain competitive element. The focus during this phase of preparation is on the physical aspect. Regardless of the result, these training games are very similar to our international matches in terms of intensity and mileage. ' Switzerland face Norway in their opening group game on Thursday and will hope to improve on their showing at the previous Euros, where they picked up just one point in three games. They will also take on Finland and Iceland in group A. Juventus star Lehmann is the national team's most famous player and boasts 16. 7million followers on Instagram and 12m on Tik Tok. However, she was only handed a last-minute call up to the Swiss squad after being initially snubbed by Sundhage. The 26-year-old was given a spot in the squad after FC Koln midfielder Alena Bienz withdrew with an ankle injury. Reacting to her call up, Lehmann wrote on Instagram: 'I couldn't be happier to represent my country at the Euros. I'm so grateful for the opportunity. Let's make Switzerland proud and show how football is growing. ' The former Aston Villa and West Ham forward's involvement in the Euros will come just months after her and Douglas Luiz reportedly called time on their relationship. Douglas Luiz and Lehmann, who have reportedly split, have made headlines down the years The 26-year-old was given a spot in the squad after FC Koln midfielder Alena Bienz withdrew Lehmann began dating Douglas Luiz in 2021 and they both secured moves to Juventus in 2024 The duo first began dating back in 2021, before they broke up a year later and rekindled at the start of 2024. Since then, the couple had enjoyed a close relationship and both sealed a move to Italian giants Juventus during the summer window last year. Luiz joined from Aston Villa for £42. 4 million having emerged as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. Lehmann followed suit just seven days later, also moving from Villa, and is contracted until 2027. The 26-year-old, whose move alongside Luiz was the first 'couples transfer' of that kind, saw her campaign disrupted by fitness issues.
