UEFA Women’s Champions League 2023/24 season has been an exciting journey for Eva Gaetino, the talented defender who recently signed with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Gaetino, a member of the US Women’s National Team (USWNT), expressed her excitement at the prospect of facing her USWNT teammate Lindsey Horan in the upcoming matches.

Transitioning from playing college soccer at Notre Dame University to becoming a key player for PSG in Europe has been a dream come true for Gaetino.

As PSG gears up to take on Olympique Lyonnais in the UEFA Women’s Champions League semi-finals, Gaetino’s impact on the team has been significant. Her goal against BK Hacken in the quarter-finals not only helped PSG advance but also made her the youngest American to score in the knockout rounds of the UWCL.

The 21-year-old shared her excitement about training with world-class players and coaches at PSG, emphasizing the growth and learning opportunities she has experienced since joining the team.

Reflecting on her journey, Gaetino mentioned that playing in Europe has always been a goal for her, and her time at PSG has felt like home from the moment she arrived. With a mix of experience and youth, PSG aims to challenge Lyon in the upcoming matches, with Gaetino playing a crucial role in the team’s strategy.
