Claudia Christiane Endler Mutinelli (born 23 July 1991) is a Chilean professional footballer who plays as goalkeeper for Première Ligue club Lyon.

[12] From childhood, Endler showed talent for sports, playing tennis, swimming, hockey, basketball, volleyball and gymnastics before dedicating herself full time to football.

[14] During the 2011 Pan American Games, she was recruited to play in the United States for the D1 University of South Florida Bulls.

During her fall break in 2012, Colo-Colo were playing the Copa Libertadores, so she very briefly went on loan to compete in the beginning stages of the tournament.

[21] The following month in June, she announced her departure from Colo-Colo, opting to go to the United States and pursue a college education.

[25] Endler was having a convincing start to her season, but due to the newfound intensity of training and workouts, she began feeling discomfort in her knee that developed into a season-ending ruptured meniscus injury.

[29] Her performances with Valencia attracted the attention of Paris Saint-Germain, and in July 2017, Endler signed a three-year contract with the French club.

PSG won the match 1-0 and earned their second ever major trophy, breaking Lyon's streak of six consecutive Coupe de France Féminine titles.

[35] Endler's first Champions League campaign ended in a cruel fashion, where she conceded a 91st minute goal from Maren Mjelde and lost the quarterfinal tie to her former club, Chelsea.

[37] On 9 August 2020, Endler saved a penalty from Eugénie Le Sommer during the shootout that decided the 2020 Coupe de France but subsequently missed one that she took as PSG ultimately lost to Lyon.

Ten years later, in an interview with FIFA, Endler said that the tournament was crucial in her decision to dedicate her life to football.

[13] Before that championship I'd never imagined that I could play the game professionally, but it was thanks to that tournament that I realised there was a whole different world out there, that women's football was growing outside Chile.

Her final international youth tournament experience would come in the 2010 U20 Copa America Femenina, where Endler found greater success.

She conceded just two goals in the four-round group stage as she moved onto the knockout rounds of an international tournament for the first time in her career.

The Chile women's national team was forced to play in "deplorable conditions' and train with teenage boys.

Endler has criticized the CONMEBOL qualifying format, where the quadrennial competition determines qualification for three separate competitions- the FIFA Women's World Cup, the Olympics, and the Pan-American Games.

[48] Endler made six saves and despite conceding three goals, her performances against the eventual tournament winners earned herself a Player of the Match award and garnered international attention.

[49] In the final match of the group stage with Round of 16 qualification on the line, Chile played Thailand who, a week before, suffered the highest ever margin of defeat in a World Cup tournament, men or women.

[50] Chile finished third in Group F and very narrowly exited the tournament by not having enough points nor a high enough goal-difference to be one of the third placed teams that could qualify for the Round of 16.

[50] Endler questioned Chile coach José Letelier's decisions in the match against Thailand, saying in a post-match interview that she expected players with more experience to get more game time.

[51] In September 2019, Endler won her first title with Chile, the 2019 Torneo Internacional Femenino de Sao Paulo friendly championship.

[53] On 13 April 2021, Chile became the final women's team to qualify for the postponed 2020 Tokyo Olympics by defeating Cameroon in a pair of matches held in Ankara, Turkey due to COVID travel restrictions.

On 21 April 2021, Chile was drawn into Group E where they will face Great Britain, Canada, and host nation Japan in their round-robin matches on 21/24/27 July 2021; Endler will captain.

"[57] Former United States goalkeeper Hope Solo described her as "spectacular," "one-in-a-million," and "strong, powerful and quick with excellent positioning ...her ability to read the aerial balls is also top notch.

[17] She cites her biggest inspiration as her brother, who instilled a passion for football in her since a young age and pushed her to become a goalkeeper.

[78] For her outstanding play against the United States during the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, she was voted Player of the Match.

She also referred to a quote made by Chelsea coach Emma Hayes that women should have smaller pitches and goals.

[80] Later in the year, she was voted the fifth-best women's goalkeeper of 2019 by IFFHS, behind Sari van Veenendaal, Sarah Bouhaddi, Alyssa Naeher and Hedvig Lindahl.
