Arsenal star leads X-rated Tottenham chant at Champions League parade

Send Push

Arsenal star Katie McCabe led X-rated chants about Tottenham as the Gunners celebrated their Women's win. McCabe played all 90 minutes as beat on Saturday.

Stina Blackstenius late goal proved to be the difference in Lisbon. It means they are the first English women's team to win the Champions League since they did it themselves 18 years ago.

The Gunners hosted a trophy parade at the Emirates Stadium on Bank Holiday Monday to kick off the celebrations back in London. The full squad were in attendance, along with thousands of jubilant fans.

McCabe stole the show at the event with the defender's antics delighting the crowd. She first led the crowd in singing her very own song, 'We've got McCabe' to the tune of Billy Ray Cyrus' 'Achy Breaky Heart'.

The Ireland captain then began a serenading of the matchwinner Blackstenius after shushing the crowd. But her most eye-catching contribution came when she stole the mic from Beth Meade.

Hit Queen song 'We are the champions' rang out and ticker tape fell as the trophy was shown off to the assembled masses, with McCabe jumping in to start the famous 'What do we think of ?'

The crowd replied 'S***!' before McCabe spun the chant around to: 'What do we think of s***?' Mead was eventually able to wrestle the microphone back off her team-mate as the number came to a close.

McCabe later hailed Arsenal skipper Kim Little. She said: "She is the Scottish queen. She is what it means to be a captain of this fantastic football club. What she does day in day out, what she does behind the scenes, she's a professional and a f***ing legend of this football club."

McCabe was more compose on Saturday night after her side's famous win. She said: "We suffered together. Barcelona threw everything at us, but we fought together and we got there.

"We deserved to be in this final. We bounced back in the knock-out stages of the competition and we needed to be resilient. When I first came to the club, I was a young, naive kid who came over from Dublin.

"To be here now is just an unbelievable feeling. This was for our fans today. We are all European champions. It's amazing."

Victory over Barcelona sparked jubilant celebrations at the full-time whistle, with Little hailing the achievement. She said: "It’s very special for me. I’ve obviously been at the club a very long time, and we’ve had incredible periods where we’ve been successful.

!To still be at the club now after that long period (since 2007), and to see how much has been invested in the women’s game and in us as players, it’s very special to be sitting here now off the back of winning the ultimate trophy for a football club and it is definitely the best moment of my career."
