We talked with PSG, but quickly, I knew that it wasn't where I wanted to go. In France, for me, it was only Lyon. PSG could have enabled me to make progress because they have great players, but I wanted to experience another league.
In a World Cup, the girls at Lyon are probably the ones that are going to change the games, and I know them inside out.
New York has an amazing history of farming and fishing that goes right back to the Pilgrim Fathers. At its core are the four seasons, which are distinct, well-established and similar to those in Lyon, where my family lives: when it's snowing in New York, a week later it will be snowing there.
Beate the dog before the Lyon.
I played in Europe and it was a great experience, not just because of my team-mates and the coaches we had, but from the fans and the city itself - I played in Gothenburg and I played in Lyon and soccer was everywhere.
I think because of how big the women's teams at Lyon and PSG are, the expectation on the team and the huge fan base - it leaves the door open for so much media. But I think that's a good thing.
Lyon is unusual and seems to be exceptionally incompetent at publicising itself. In fact, it doesn't want visitors. It fears discovery.
I think, to a certain extent, there is a pressure, although I don't think I've felt the pressure at Lyon more than I've felt at any other club I've played at.
To make my entire career at Lyon doesn't bother me as long as they continue to have the development and ambition to have a competitive team, even if we're not certain to win the Champions League.
When I signed for Lyon, I pictured myself lifting the Champions League trophy, and I don't think that has ever changed.
The standard across Europe is set by Lyon. We're so far ahead of so many teams. In training every day it's 11 internationals v 11 internationals, so I'm having to defend against the world's best strikers every day.
Le Championnat is very balanced and of high quality. There are teams like Monaco, Marseille, and Lyon but also Lille, Nice, and Toulouse, who are strong.
I think it's clear to see that Lyon plan to continue to win the Champions League and be the best team in Europe.
When I started watching matches, it was those of Marseille. After that, it was Lyon. I went to see them all the time in the league or the Champions League with my dad.
Penitence must precede pardon.
The President refused since Lyon himself had not apologized and asked for forgiveness.
I thought I was going to stay at City, but when a team like Lyon comes in for you, I think I'd have regretted it if I had said no to them. Not just because of making finals, but because of the players I get to play with every single day.
I never saw myself as a women's footballer. Not when I was in my tiny village in Norway. Not when I was suffering in Germany. Not when I finally made it to Lyon.
The convergence of the Rhone and Saone. Paul Bocuse. The birthplace of cinema. Chateauneuf-du-Pape just a few miles down the road. It does not get much better than Lyon.
Namely I'm a fan of sides like Lyon, Marseille, PSG, but there is no preference. All these clubs, as well as Bordeaux, have a great history.
If one day I came to Ligue 1, it would be to Lyon or Marseille.
Lyon is a big club, but not one of the five best in Europe.
I've played for St. Etienne, and the fans told me I should never go to Lyon. So I didn't go.
