The Kilnamanagh native was a late arrival in camp after being part of Arsenal’s victory parade celebrations following their Champions League triumph against Barcelona at the weekend. On Saturday, the 29-year-old became just the fourth Irish woman to win a Champions League trophy, following in the footsteps of ex-Arsenal trio Emma Byrne, Ciara Grant and Yvonne Tracy in 2007. She was also the first Irish Champions winner since Liverpool’s Caoimhín Kelleher lifted the trophy in 2019 and the first Irish player to start the final since John O’Shea in 2009.
