So, that was a great scenario. So happy with the win on the day City won the league. Everything we wanted was second place. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, it\u2019s margins, it\u2019s about consistency in the season. We\u2019ve only lost one game and that\u2019s away against City who\u2019ve won the league. If you look back at this season, it\u2019s getting those draws over the line and being consistent across the season. There\u2019s a lot of positive and growth this season.\u201d<\/p>\n<article data-entity-type=\"node\" data-entity-uuid=\"c1aa0e1e-22ce-473b-a524-c6b4d8b3014a\" data-embed-button=\"article_embed\" data-entity-embed-display=\"view_mode:node.tiny\" data-langcode=\"en\" data-entity-embed-display-settings=\"()\" class=\"embedded-entity u-spacing-down--xxl\">\n<article data-article-id=\"128180\" about=\"\/fixture\/women\/2026-May-16\/liverpool-women-women-match-report\">\n<div class=\"article-card article-card--tiny card\" data-eq-pts=\"xsmall: 200, small: 550, medium: 640, large: 768\">\n<div class=\"card__content\">\n<p>\n         <span class=\"h6 article-card__subhead\">Read more<\/span>                             <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-card__title\" title=\"Report: Liverpool 1-3 Arsenal Women\"><span class=\"article-card__title-words\">  Report: Liverpool 1-3 Arsenal Women <\/span><br \/>\n          <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<p>Asked about the amazing reception our players got from the thousands of supporters who made the long journey up north to cheer us on, our head coach added: \u201dOur football doesn\u2019t mean anything without the fans. So, they make it important and make us play for something bigger as well. They\u2019re amazing, I think the away section was sold out. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey made noise the whole game through. I think what we need as people is belonging and connection, and that\u2019s what we have with the fans. I\u2019m curious if you can find it anywhere else in the way it is at Arsenal. So, it\u2019s the best, seeing that moment between the fans and players, so nice to see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those supporters were in full voice to give Katie McCabe a proper send off, and our Irish defender leaves an incredible legacy at the club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, she does,\u201d Ren\u00e9e agreed. \u201cI\u2019ve had the privilege to work with her the last three years. She\u2019s done so much for the club. I think when she\u2019s older and looks back at her time, she\u2019ll be so, so proud of everything she\u2019s achieved here. The personality she is, everything she\u2019s brought to the club, every single day, all the trophies she won, the connections she\u2019s created, the pioneering in the background for better things in women\u2019s football, she\u2019s done so much for the club.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2026 The Arsenal Football Club Limited.
