Chelsea returns to Wembley for the Women's FA Cup final, their seventh in eleven years, with Catarina Macario eager to compete at this iconic venue for the first time. Despite her impressive track recordâincluding a UEFA Women's Champions League title and Olympic medalsâMacario missed prior opportunities to play at Wembley due to injuries. Now, after recovering from an ACL injury, she aims to contribute to Chelsea's pursuit of a domestic treble against Manchester United, who are also vying for a win as defending champions. Macario emphasizes the significance of the occasion for her and the team.
"I've watched the team play there many times, even when I wasn't playing for Chelsea, and I've heard that it is a very big occasion. Playing at Wembley is something that every player dreams about. I think the FA Cup final just makes it that much more special."
"We're just happy to be back there and, for myself personally, I'm just trying to think that it's just another game, but I'll definitely be soaking in all those moments: the atmosphere, the stadium, and thinking about all the legends that have been there before. Hopefully we can create another piece of history."
