Catarina Macario expressed her enthusiasm and anticipation for the upcoming series of matches between Chelsea and Manchester City, starting with the Women's League Cup final. Chelsea competes against City for the second time in this final, having faced a previous tough loss in 2021-22. While they have historically struggled in the League Cup against City, they remain hopeful after winning their last encounter. With Chelsea's current unbeaten streak and intent to avoid a fourth consecutive final loss, Macario recognizes the unique challenges that come from facing a familiar opponent multiple times in short succession.
"We know them very well, it's something that will be hard and very challenging mentally and physically for both teams, I believe," Macario told Opta Content Agency.
"I'm very curious and excited to play in it, hopefully, and just to see how the teams will line up and see how we'll try to beat each other because, as a player and a fan, it's a very exciting event..."
"Especially when you know them so well, and you play them four times in a row. I'm looking forward to it, but it will definitely be a tough one."
"Chelsea are competing in their sixth Women's League Cup final; after winning their first two (2020, 2021), they have finished as runners-up in each of the last three seasons."
