Katie McCabe has reflected on the growth of women's soccer as she gears up to play in a Champions League semi-final in front of a sold-out Emirates Stadium.
Wolfsburg travel to North London on Monday six days removed from last weekend's pulsating 2-2 draw in Germany.
A gigantic crowd is expected at the Emirates Stadium on Monday, with a staggering 57,000 tickets sold as of Friday afternoon.

Posting a video on Arsenal's Twitter page to promote the game, McCabe reflects on how much the game has grown and remembers a time when a couple of hundred spectators would have been a decent attendance for a women's game.
"Since I first signed for Arsenal seven and a half years ago, a couple of hundred would have been pretty cool at Meadow Park," begins McCabe.
"The fact that we are on the verge of potentially selling out the Emirates for a semi-final of the Champions League is incredible.
"We want you the fans to come and support us, get behind us and cheer us on against Wolfsburg in the semi-final of the Champions League. Get your tickets, we want to see you there and you are going to be our 12th player on the night.
"We need you, we'll hear you and we can't wait to see you!"
