Every season they'll go for titles, they'll go for cups and the Champions League. It's good to get back into European football and challenge myself."I'm looking forward to it, as players you want all those games, you want those challenges, you want the difficult games, individually and as a squad, we're looking forward to that."We are ready, pre-season has been good, there's a lot of new faces in there. I feel like I've known the girls for years, but I've only actually played with a few of them."We're very much focused on what we can do. We build a team that can go and challenge. We know that we've got a squad that is going to be competitive."
