What's rare is wonderful. Ireland's Katie McCabe goes in search of #ChampionsLeague glory on Saturday for Arsenal against the favourites and holders, just the fifth ever Irish international to be involved in the final of Europe's biggest club tournament for women's football. Three of those four won the title with Arsenal back in 2007, going up against one of the powerhouses of the time in Umeå from Sweden. Emma Byrne and Ciara Grant played a huge role over the two legs as they kept the Swedes scoreless - they had scored 6, 5, 5, 6 in the four legs of the quarter and semi-finals just to show what an achievement that was too. Back then the competition was still called the UEFA Women's Cup, but would be rebranded to the UEFA Women's Champions League from 2009/10 onwards. Hopefully Katie McCabe can join her fellow Gunners in becoming Europe's best. #uefawomenschampionsleague #championsleague
