The Team of the Season is heavily dominated by players from both Wolfsburg and Barcelona, who battled it out in the Final on Saturday, with Barcelona claiming a 3-2 win, following a second-half comeback.

McCabe has also been given the responsibility of captaining Arsenal in recent months following the season-ending injuries to both Captain Kim Little and Vice Captain Leah Williamson. The Ireland Captain led Arsenal in both legs of their Champions League semi-final against German side Wolfsburg, to whom they suffered defeat at a sold-out Emirates Stadium.

Later this month, McCabe will join up with the Ireland WNT squad in preparation for their two send-off games against Zambia and France. The team will also take part in a behind closed doors match against Colombia in Australia on July 14th. Ireland will face Canada, Australia and Nigeria in the group stage, of what will be the team’s first-ever Women’s World Cup.
