Katie McCabe is still buzzing from Arsenal's Champions League triumph over Barcelona. The 30-year-old full-back was at the forefront of the celebrations, leading the partygoers in singing her own chant before shushing them and launching into a rendition of Stina Blackstenius's song to the tune of 'Karma Chameleon', proclaiming "red is in my blood" and even jogging back on to the pitch after the team finished their third day of celebrations.
Eight months later, McCabe still talks about that magical night with passion. The Republic of Ireland international says she worked tirelessly for the victory and was determined to enjoy it with her teammates. Despite being under intense scrutiny following the partying, McCabe insists she won't be singing the same tune again anytime soon - "I can't sing it ever again", she admits with a laugh.
McCabe credits her incredible recovery from an 18-year-old leg break that almost ended her football career to becoming one of the most consistent players in the WSL. Her work ethic is evident, having maintained an impressive level of performance throughout the season and leading by example for her teammates.
Despite Arsenal's recent struggles to replicate their Champions League success on the pitch, McCabe remains optimistic about the team's prospects. They face a tough test against Aston Villa in the FA Cup fourth round but are focused on finding consistency and pushing for all the trophies. As she puts it, "You never know in the WSL - especially this year when there's teams taking points off everybody... We want to compete for all the trophies and that's going to be a tough ask, but we've got a great team, we've got winners in the team, so we'll be absolutely focused on pushing for that."

18 years is a long time to come back from, and it's no wonder she's now one of the most consistent players in the WSL. I love how she sets an example for her teammates with her work ethic - it's clear she's all about winning and giving it her all, even when things get tough 
.
. seriously though, that song performance was fire 
and i love how passionate she is about the team's prospects 
... honestly though, it's inspiring to see someone overcome such a tough injury to become one of the most consistent players in the wsl 
️
I'm literally still reppin' @KatieMcCabe all day erry day!!! 
That girl's determination to come back from a major injury is INSPIRING!!!! 
Her work ethic is on point and it's no surprise she's leading the charge for Arsenal in the WSL 
"Red is in my blood" 
I'm dead 
. Can't wait to see what the rest of the season holds for her and the team... fingers crossed for a few more trophies 
!
... like, can't they just enjoy their moment without broadcasting it all over the place? Katie McCabe's post-Champions League party antics are literally everywhere right now 
. Can we please just focus on the team's actual performance in the WSL instead of how many times she's sang a silly song in public? 
. She's like the ultimate sportswoman, from almost giving up on football after her injury to being part of an incredible Champions League-winning side. Her dedication and work ethic are truly inspiring. And can we talk about how she handles the media scrutiny? Girl is owning it 
. I'm also loving her attitude towards Arsenal's struggles - instead of panicking, she's focusing on finding consistency and pushing for all the trophies. That's the kind of mentality that'll take them to the top 
.
Is it just me or did we have a decent season last year too? 
. She's been through so much with her leg break and now she's killing it on the pitch 
anyways i gotta ask, has anyone seen arsenal play live? 
they look so different on tv from how they are in person 
. I'm keeping an eye on their progress and hoping they can keep pushing for those trophies 
. She's a true leader on and off the pitch, and I think she'll play a huge role in helping Arsenal achieve their goals this season 
, and her dedication to her craft is truly inspiring 
. And I gotta say, her confidence and focus on consistency are super admirable 
. Now let's see how they do against Aston Villa... fingers crossed for them 
! One thing that's been bugging me is the lack of visual content around this article, though... a few more images or graphics would make the whole thing pop
