Katie McCabe named on Women’s Champions League Team of the Season

Katie McCabe has been named on the Uefa Women’s Champions League Team of the Season following a number of standout performances for Arsenal in the competition.

The Republic of Ireland captain takes up the left-back position, alongside a number of high-profile players from across the European game. The team is dominated by Barcelona players, the winners of this season’s competition, including Caroline Graham Hansen, Aitana Bonmatí and Mapi León.

The remainder of starting 11 spots, as selected by Uefa’s Technical Observer panel, is made up of Wolfsburg players.

McCabe’s Arsenal lost out on a spot in the Champions League final after a heartbreaking extra-time defeat to Wolfsburg at the Emirates Stadium last month.
