"I think it's so good, obviously we're seeing FIFA do the Men's Club World Cup and how well that was received. I remember watching some of the games and thinking this is absolutely fantastic. Sometimes you only see them players play against each other when it's like in World Cups and stuff like that. So I'm really looking forward to it for the women's team. I think that it goes to show the investment that FIFA are putting into the women's game and there's a lot of prize money as well. So, I would have liked I've got my hands on that in terms as a club, but yeah it's going to be brilliant and I think for that next generation to see these players travelling to London and getting to watch them."

"Yeah I think it's massive. It's a great chance for us to play against different types of opponents and for them to come up against us. Obviously it's a different style as well. We just want to be prepared. It's exciting."

"As you say - the game's come on a lot. Now I probably get recognised a lot for being in the jungle, eating spiders, she (Olivia Smith) probably gets recognised for being a fantastic footballer. But yeah, I think her obviously coming to the WSL, I watched her recently against Aston Villa, what a fantastic player, fantastic talent she is. But you know what, it's great where the game is now, I really appreciate my journey, made a lot of friends along the way. But everybody says to us, are you jealous now where the games is? But honestly, this is all we ever wanted for the women's game. This is what we fought for every single day. So to see cup competitions like this now happening, it just puts a big smile on our faces."

"It's incredible for me seeing all the faces in the game evolving since 2011. We have seen an incredible growth in the women's game. So I'm very happy and very motivated to be here at the first Women's Champions Cup."
