It was really special to be part of it and to be able to celebrate the league and FA Cup win as well.After six years of dominance, it was going to take a lot to knock Chelsea off their pedestal. But new manager Jeglertz, aided by a lack of Champions League football due to a fourth-placed finish in the 2024/25 season, helped City do just that.Coming in last summer, there were a lot of changes, new people coming in and a new coach coming in. But I think we showed so much progress over the year.

Throughout the season, we adjusted and grew and that led us to win the league and the FA Cup too.For this year, regardless of if we are the champions or if we were chasing it, it doesnt change our goals. Some of the girls havent been in this position before and it will be different.And looking at all the signings that other clubs are making, I think the league is going to be extremely exciting to see how it's going to pan out.'Isn't that why we love football?'This year, the league has expanded by two teams to a field of 14 teams. A number of high profile players have also joined the WSL this season, something Miedema says speaks volumes of where the league is at.Its amazing to see that so many big players want to come play in England and that the league has increased by two teams as well, she added.Its only going to get more exciting and more difficult to actually win it. To be in the league now and try to be successful again is going to be extremely difficult. But isntt that why we love football?Thats the reason every good player wants to come to England, because you want to measure yourself against the best.After a season away from Champions League football, City will be back competing against Europes best.Im really excited to be back but it's going to be tough because you're going to be travelling a lot, you're going to be playing a lot of games.I think some of the girls will have to get used to it. But it's a competition you want to be playing and you want to measure yourself with the best in Europe.I can't wait to see how we do in the Champions League because its a completely different challenge to playing in the WSL.TOPICSManchester City WomenManchester CityAyisha GulatiWomen's Football WriterAyisha Gulati is the women's football writer at FourFourTwo.
