Katie McCabe revels in the glory of Arsenal's Champions League win, admitting she "works so hard" for moments like those. The 30-year-old full-back has been instrumental in the team's success, displaying a unique blend of defensive prowess and attacking flair.
McCabe has long been known for her fiery personality on the pitch, earning a reputation as one of the most passionate players in the Women's Super League. However, she insists that this is simply who she is - "passionate, I want to win and I'll always work hard."
The Irish international acknowledges that her high-energy style can sometimes lead to controversy. While admitting to being "cringing" after singing her own chant at a post-game celebration, McCabe refuses to apologize for her emotions. "Being passionate is who I am," she says firmly.
Behind the scenes, however, McCabe's dedication to fitness and recovery is unwavering. The player credits her strength and conditioning training, as well as her use of ice baths and saunas, with allowing her to maintain consistency in her performances. She reveals that even at home, she's invested in a personal sauna to help fine-tune her body.
Despite the team's recent struggles to replicate their Champions League success on the pitch, McCabe remains optimistic. With draws piling up in the league and FA Cup, Arsenal look set for a long and challenging season ahead. However, the midfielder is confident that her side can push for all trophies, thanks to their quality players and determination.
As the team heads into their FA Cup fourth round match against Aston Villa on Sunday, McCabe emphasizes the importance of staying focused on what's working well - setting up scoring opportunities through movement and positioning. While frustration with recent results may be understandable, she urges her teammates to "not dwell too much" and stay committed to their vision.
With 10 years at Arsenal under her belt, McCabe knows that consistency will be key to success in the highly competitive Women's Super League. She admits that closing a 10-point gap on leaders Manchester City may be a tall order, but is undeterred by the challenge. "You never know in the WSL," she remarks wryly - and with her team's great players and winners' mentality, they'll certainly give it their all.

, but girl's got game for days. Her dedication to fitness and recovery is insane – i need to invest in a personal sauna ASAP! 
She's right, though, consistency is key, especially in the WSL where everyone's trying to outdo each other. And honestly, I think she's underrated as a player – always puts up a fight, even when things aren't going her way 
The fact that Arsenal has made it to the Champions League final is a testament to the hard work and dedication of its players, particularly Katie McCabe. Her unapologetic passion on the pitch is infectious, and her ability to balance defensive prowess with attacking flair is a rare asset. 
With 10 years at Arsenal under her belt, McCabe knows what it takes to succeed in this competitive league - now let's see if the team can translate their Champions League success into league wins! 
I'm loving this new Champions League win for Arsenal! Katie McCabe is literally a queen out there on the pitch 
And let's be real, who doesn't love a good post-game chant sing-along 
? I mean, I might cringe a little too when I'm watching from home, but Katie gets me. I've been following her journey for years and she's always been the one player who just gives it 110% 
Fitness and recovery are everything for her, and I love that she's all about investing in herself, even with her own personal sauna at home 
Anyway, I'm rooting for Arsenal to bring home more trophies this season – they've got the talent and determination to do it! 
but yeah, draws piling up is def not ideal... still think arsenal can make a push for trophies though! 
! And let's give it up for her dedication to fitness - ice baths and saunas? That's some next-level stuff for the recovery game 
. The way she stays optimistic even when things aren't going her team's way is just super inspiring 
!
, but I gotta wonder if she's being a bit too real about her emotions on the pitch 
. Still, if it works for her, who am I to judge?
. The WSL's getting more competitive by the minute, and Arsenal's gonna need all hands on deck to take down Manchester City 
the fact that she's all about setting up scoring opportunities through movement and positioning is so underrated 
arseneal's got this! 10 points gap to manchester city? bring it on 
, katie and her squad are gonna give it everything they've got 
. Katie McCabe is super dedicated and all, but even she says her team might struggle to catch up with Manchester City... which is pretty realistic, if you ask me 
. We'll just have to see how it all plays out 
theyve been dominant for years and have a way bigger budget than us. we can try but theres only so much we can do with our limited resources. still, katie mccabe is definitely one of my faves she always speaks her mind and it's refreshing to see players being themselves 
even if we dont win everything this season, at least we're giving it a good shot 
. Like, I get it, she's a good player and all, but can't she just dial it back a notch? I mean, 10 years at Arsenal and still we don't see her step up and lead the team to actual victory instead of just "pushing for all trophies". And please, her fitness routine is so extra 
. Who needs ice baths and saunas when you can just run more miles on the treadmill? It's not like she's the only one working out in the gym... Meanwhile, I'm over here thinking that maybe their "quality players" aren't actually doing enough to secure wins. Let's be real, it's time for a change around there 
. anyway, gotta respect how she's staying optimistic despite the tough season ahead... it says a lot about her team's attitude and commitment
