What happened. Manchester City have opened the Women's Super League season with back-to-back victories, the only side on maximum points after two rounds. Captain Alex Greenwood has been a pillar of consistency under manager Andree Jeglertz.

• Greenwood draws a clear line between a one-off winner and a champion who repeats success.
• She credits a summer reset — including getting engaged — for feeling fresh this season.
• City's guiding rule, in her words, is simple: "We always find a way".

“A true champion is someone who goes and wins again. A winner might be one-off. But a champion does it over and over.”

— Alex Greenwood
