Before every home game, Renée Slegers gives her thoughts around the team and our upcoming game in her manager's notes published in the matchday programme.
Ahead of our return to Emirates Stadium against Aston Villa, Renée reflects on a busy week that has taken in Manchester, Paris and a lot of work on the training pitch. Here is a snippet:
As you may have seen, a group of us travelled to Paris this week to attend the 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony, where we were awarded the Women’s Club of the Year award. It was a great honour to be recognised for such a prestigious award, but it was made all the more special because it was a collective achievement.
