Katie McCabe spoke to Metro on her whirlwind journey over the last 12 months

It was a football match fit for a movie… until the final two minutes of extra-time. Arsenal Women’s Champions League run had ended in heart-breaking fashion at the Emirates Stadium on May 1, 2023, when the heroics of the injury-stricken Gunners were not enough to defeat Wolfsburg, who scored to win in the 119th minute of the European semi-final. Now, just over a year later and with the pain of defeat lessened, the loss has become something of a win in the hearts of both fans and players.

While they didn’t play with us, they were still part of the team and we had their strength through their experience and words of wisdom. We all rallied around each other, and that support was infectious and incredible.’ McCabe works hard to avoid burnout as a player and – she touches the wooden table at this point of the interview – has avoided major injury in recent years. But she’s always been used to juggling amid her football career.
