Katana's POV

"Here Katana." Tierna says as she hands me our line-up for tonight's Champions League Final so I look at it.

1-Katana Solo
2-Ashley Lawerence
6-Leah Martin(C)
12-Tierna Davidson
15-Katie McCabe
17-Jessie Harris
8-Jordan Nobbs
7-Jackie Groenen
14-Talia Martin
9-Marie-Antoinette Katoto
11-Lieke Martens

After I look at the line-up, I pass it behind me then I relax with my doggies as we approach the stadium.

Once at the Camp Nou, the bus parks then everyone gets off and heads to the locker room.

When we get to the locker room, everyone puts their stuff down in their respective lockers.

Once my stuff is in my locker, my teammates and I head outside for the pitch inspection.

After we've inspected the pitch, my teammates and I head back to the locker room.

When I get to my locker I take my AirPods out, I take out my nose ring, I take off my necklaces, earrings, bracelet, watch, and my rings, put my jewelry in it's safe then I put my jewelry safe and AirPods in my bag.

Once I'm jewelry free I take off my tracksuit and put my dark brown locs up in a ponytail then I put on my short sleeve purple undershirt, my warm up top, and I put on my game shorts.

I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my red boots.

After my boots are on I tape my wrists, hands, and fingers then I put on my red keeper gloves before I head onto the field with the other keepers.

When I get on the pitch I run through my warm ups with the keepers for a while then head back to the locker room.

Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my purple keeper jersey while Amaka does her last minute talks.

When the last minute talks end, we are told to head to the tunnel so I grab my towel and water bottle then Appa, Socks, and I do as told.

Once in the tunnel, I line-up right behind Leah then I wait for us to be called out.

Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I follow Leah out onto the field.

Once on the field we stand in line for a few seconds then we shake hands with the Barcelona players.

After we shake hands, we take a starting XI picture, Leah does the coin toss, we do our team huddle, then I lead Appa and Socks to the bench. 

"Stay here pups." I say

Appa and Socks yip and smile at me so I scratch their heads then I walk to my position on the field.

"You ready?" I ask as Talia and I walk onto the field.

"To beat Barca in their own stadium?" Talia rehotorically questions. "Absofuckinglutely." 

- - - - -

"The fuck is going on?" I mumble as I watch my teammates celebrate another goal.

You ever play a game that goes in the complete opposite direction to the way you thought it would go because that's happening right now.

Our latest goal put us up 5-0.

I expected Barcelona to actually be a challenge.

Talia had a first half hat trick, Leah scored a header in the 60th minute, and a couple seconds ago, in the dying minutes of the game, Marie-Antoinette scored.
