Emma's POV

"You've got the mic right?" Jessie asks.

"It's connected to my sports bra." I say as I look at the line up for today's Champions League Final

"You ready to play again?" Jessie asks and I nod.

"What about you?" I say as we pull up to Old Trafford in Manchester. "Are you ready to play your old team?"

We're playing Chelsea in the final.

"I am." Jessie says as the bus stops.

"Let's go Shadow." I say then my future wife and I follow Shadow off the bus.

After the bus stops everyone grabs their bags then we get off the bus and head to the locker room.

When I get to my locker I take out my nose ring, take off my necklaces and my rings, then I put my jewelry and AirPods in my bag.

Once I'm jewelry free I put on my short sleeve Pink undershirt, my warm up top, then I put on my game shorts. I then sit down in my locker, put my long long curly brown hair up in a ponytail, put on my socks and put on my black and gold boots.

After my boots are on I tape my wrists, hands, and fingers then I put on my black and white 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 Pink keeper jersey while the coaches do their last minute talks.

After the last minute talks are over we are told to head to the tunnel so I grab my towel and water bottle then Shadow and I head to the front of the line in the tunnel and stand behind Jordan.

"Actually." Jordan says then she turns around.

"What?" I ask then Jordan takes off the captains armband and puts it around my arm.

"You're captain." Jordan says then she switches spots with me.

"Uh okay." I say.

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

Once on the field we stand in a line and stand in silence while the Champions League anthem plays.

After the Champions League anthem plays we shake hands with the refs and the Chelsea ladies then I do the coin toss with Magda

Once the coin toss is done I head to our bench and do our team huddle.

After our team huddle I lead Shadow to the sideline.

"Stay here Shadow." I say then Shadow barks and licks my face.

I smile at my Service dog and pet her head then I grab my towel and my water bottle and head to my goal.

Once I'm at my goal I hang my towel on the net, put my water bottle outside the net, then I stand in my goal as Fran kicks off the game.

"LET'S GO EMMA." Ash shouts. "YOU GOT THIS."

Tobin, Ash, Lindsey, and Alyssa all came up to Manchester to watch the game while their significant others are in London watching the game while looking after the kids.
