“My dad was a football player, and so was my grandad, so it runs in the family. It was always going to happen that I became a footballer – in my family, football is everything.
“Once I started showing interest in playing, my dad said ‘if you do it, I want you to do it well’. So I was doing five or six training sessions a week, even when I was just five years old.
“The first club I signed for was in Germany, but I was still in school and there’s no way my mum would let me quit. I stayed living in Belgium for school, but me and my dad would drive two hours to Germany for me to train, and then two hours back.

“My dad had this car with these little television screens in the back, and he would always put on videos of Johan Cruyff, Dennis Bergkamp, these kinds of players. Cruyff especially was always on that little TV screen, and because of that he became a huge inspiration for me. He’s the reason I’ve worn number 14 so much throughout my career – I wear it now at PSG, and it was the number I wore when we won the Women’s EURO. It all goes back to those long drives and TVs in the car!”
