Sundays away at Meadow Park were never something to take easy. After your last performance there you wanted to prove that it was one bad day and it would not happen again.

"Forget about it" Laia's hand rested on the small of your back as you stood in the tunnel "it was a mistake, don't take it into this game"

You had been obsessing over the previous league game against Arsenal when your error game the home side 3 points.

"No can do" you didn't look back at her but you hand to lower to her waist as you give it a little squeeze.

Your girlfriend shared a look with her close friend and fellow defender. Leila simply shrugged her shoulders. If she has learnt one thing since coming to Manchester City it is that you held yourself the highest standard and anything below that was not good enough.

Through the fist half you didn't have much to do. The ball was being played in the middle third for the most part and you took the time off the ball to watch your team play. There were a few moments when you were needed but Arsenal took too long to execute so they weren't really a threat.

The second half is very similar to the first. That is until Arsenal commit a foul and city is awarded a free kick. Chloe looks at her options and with Bunny already on the bench you wonder who will be the blonde's target. At first you think it will go over everyone and out for a goal kick but then it hits Catley's leg and Laia has clear shot on goal. You scream in delight as the ball hits the back of the net.

Do you want to run to the other end of the pitch to celebrate with her? Of course you do but you also know that isn't an option so you retreat to your goal and prepare yourself for the restart. No way was you going to let your girlfriend's goal be in vain. You were going to everything you can to keep a clean sheet and send the team into the quarter final.

When Laia got back into her position she turned around and made a heart shape with her hands before pointing to you. She did the exact same thing when she scored her first goal for the club. Just as you did then you kiss your fingers then point at her.

"You two can be cute after the game. Focus" Alex points at the both of you.

"Yes boss" you salute your captain and return your focus to the game.

When 6 minutes of injury time is announced you know that Arsenal are going to give it there all. They had nothing to lose and you were the thing standing in their way of going through to the next round.

Your first true challenge of the game came from an Arsenal corner. Pavlova gets her head to the ball and you use every ounce of power in your legs to jump and push it over the cross bar.

"Jesus Christ. That was too close. Be better girls!" You shout to the players in the box "that can't happen again"

"We won't" Laia is the closest to you "5 more minutes. Project your goal, mi amor"

You only have the chance to nod before Foord is on your for the next corner.

A few minutes pass and you hate to admit it but it has been all Arsenal. You are filled with adrenaline from the saves you make and watching your girls fight to defend.

Somehow Kim gets the ball in open space. You know what she is capable of you do everything you can prepare for the power shot is about to take. It comes flying at you quicker than you imagined and yet you still manage to react quick enough, once again sending the ball over the bar.

When the full whistle blows you pound the badge on your chest in victory.

Laia and Leila both coming running to you and latch onto you like koala's.

"Victoria, chicas. A la siguiente" you tell the two of them as you place them back on the ground.

"My keeper and my goal scorer" Leila kisses you both on the head.

"My keeper" your girlfriend says territorially.

"And my goal scorer" you match her tone.

The former Barcelona defender mutters something you don't quite catch before leaving you alone with Laia.

"You showed them. You showed them all" she tells you.

"You scored Laia. You're the reason why we are through the to quarter finals"

Nothing a lot is said as you head to where the team is huddling. Your girlfriend head rests on your shoulder and your arm wraps around hers. You won't lie the injury time took all your focus and you felt a little mentally drained. Laia knew that this sometimes happened so she doesn't say much. You both enjoy being in each others company even if you know the peace won't last long.

"There they are!" Chloe says as you approach the team "our stars"

You take a bow reeling in the cheers before pushing your girlfriend into the middle of the huddle so the team can celebrate her once again.

Once in the changing room you go about your business. You shower, get changed and head to bus to get one of the tables. By the time Laia get on board you are dancing around with Chloe as if no one is watching.

"Y/N Y/L/N, what are you doing?" Laia laughs as she sits where you've placed your bag.

"There she is. The love of my life, the scorer, the Spanish beauty, my girlfriend Laia Aleixandri!!!" You introduce much like an announcer does a boxer.

With flushed cheeks, she pulls you down into the seat.

"Look at us. You scored and I made some right worldie saves!"

"You're in a good mood. Will I be dealing with confident Y/N all night?" She moves lose wet strand of hair behind your ear.

"Oh you know it. Tomorrow morning too" you quickly steal a kiss.
