It is a testament to the standard set at Chelsea that an unbeaten Women’s Super League season, a League Cup win and, should they triumph over Manchester United at Wembley in the Women’s FA Cup final on Sunday, a domestic treble will still not leave them satisfied.
“That’s what makes this environment and this team so special,” says Catarina Macario, who was viewed as so prodigious a talent that the London side signed her in June 2023 from Lyon even though she was yet to return from an anterior cruciate ligament injury. “We’re never satisfied with just winning, we want to be dominant in how we play and there’s definitely room for improvement in that. That’s something that we have to take into next season and know that this is what we need to work even harder on to be able to achieve every single one of our goals.”
