Stott determined to drive Melbourne to glory

Wuhan: Melbourne City FC captain Rebekah Stott has set her sights on victory in the AFC Women's Champions League™ 2024/25 as the ideal antidote to her side’s domestic disappointment as the A-Leagues side prepares to face Hyundai Steel Red Angels FC in the semi-finals on Wednesday.

Stott and her teammates missed out on a place in the A-Leagues Grand Final last week with a 1-0 loss to Central Coast Mariners in the semi-finals, but the New Zealand international is hoping success at continental level will prove to be the perfect remedy.
