"The hunger they have to win is unbelievable. It's in their nature,"
"They win one competition and they're already thinking about the next one."
"This is where we want to be: Competing in the semifinals, competing in the finals, competing to raise another trophy. That's the standard here at Gotham,"
"We want to not only be the first to win these types of competitions, but to continue that legacy and keep coming back to fight for championships."
Gotham FC holds a league trophy and a confederation title and is competing for the inaugural Women's Champions Cup in England. Gotham faces Brazil's Corinthians in a semifinal, while UEFA Champions League winner Arsenal plays Morocco's ASFAR in the other semifinal at Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium. The championship and a third-place match take place Sunday at Emirates Stadium with $2.3 million to the winner and $1 million to the runner-up.

Gotham qualified by winning the first Concacaf Champions Cup with a 1-0 victory over Tigres. Preseason training occurred in Spain. The NWSL regular season begins March 13 and Gotham opens March 14 at home against expansion Boston Legacy FC.
