From soaking up the sun and Spanish lifestyle in Madrid to giving us an inside look at her recent documentary, Caroline opens up about the formative moments that shaped her career: a competitive childhood with deep family rivalry, the leap to Arsenal’s academy, and the unforgettable years at Manchester City (including a few memories with Sam). She talks about what it means to be a leftie, the honor of playing for Real Madrid, and the long road back from her ACL injury — mentally, physically, and emotionally. Caroline also reflects on her Ballon d’Or nomination, what drives her with the Scottish National Team, and why she’ll be cheering loudly for the Scottish men in 2026. 00:00 -- Sun and Learning Spanish in Madrid 03:14 -- Her Recent Documentary 04:30 -- Upbringing and Family Rivalry 08:35 -- Joining Arsenal 13:30 -- Man City Memories with Sam 16:50 -- Being a Leftie 18:00 -- Real Madrid 20:34 -- Recovering from ACL Injury 26:19 -- Ballon d'Or Nomination 27:56 -- Scottish National Team 29:20 -- Rooting on the Scottish Men in 2026 31:00 -- Her Legacy 32:58 -- Listener Question Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/9dUpP2pHHU BRAND NEW THE WOMEN'S GAME MERCH AVAILABLE NOW: https://mibcourage.co/4a2xapO Follow The Women's Game Twitter: https://twitter.com/WomensGameMIB Instagram: https://instagram.com/womensgamemib TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@womensgamemib And get the newsletter delivered directly to your inbox every Monday: https://the-womens-game.beehiiv.com/
