In Spain, they're doing something right because the attendances keep creeping up, and teams are getting the opportunity to play at the men's stadiums.

I like the way Luis Suarez plays. When I was growing up, I was a Liverpool fan, and I watched a lot of him when he came to Liverpool. He did a really good job.

I think when I first went to Man City, they weren't very professional. They were just starting out, and the men's team had just invested a lot into women's team.

It's great for the little girls coming through the system now to have women to look up to because, when I was younger, my role models were more, like, Michael Owen and players from the men's team, but I get kids messaging me now saying they look up to me, and that's really touching for me, but it's great for the kids to have people to look up to.

Yes, I've worked very hard and made sacrifices along the way, but I'm in the very privileged position of doing something that I love every single day - and earning a living from it.

Women's sport is embedded in the mainstream consciousness now, and that is a hugely positive thing. That's not to say that our sport can't get even more popular - because I think it can - but perceptions have definitely changed for the better.

Since I've lived in Barcelona, I've played a bit of padel, so maybe I'll become World Champion at that - joking, of course!

I've been to Wembley before to watch Liverpool and Everton in the FA Cup semi-final in 2012. I saw the atmosphere there, and I didn't ever think women's football would be played in front of those crowds in my time.

When I was 12, I was told I couldn't play with the boys anymore, and I was devastated.

In Spain, when we're successful, we're on the front page of the newspaper. Every newspaper. But when we lose, we're slated, the same as the men. That's the level the game is at.

It's always something that's played on my mind, being an Olympian, so hopefully we get there and do the job at the World Cup.

At Manchester City, the women are not second-class citizens in any regard. We are treated exactly the same way - it's a level playing field.

It was lucky I came from City; I'd say their philosophy is quite similar. Barcelona are a lot more advanced because they are the ones who created it, but they have a history of members of staff at Manchester City who worked here.

In England, you pass from A to B, and it goes to B, but in Barcelona, you have to go to D and then to F, and it really works your brain.

Most coaches' attention to detail is very good; it's their job. They have to analyse teams, and they have to analyse their own team.

If a club like Barcelona can do it, then why can't other clubs? It's amazing that we can be here alongside the men and the way everyone is integrated in the club. People aren't just walking past you going, 'Who's that?'

Obviously, culturally, England's style of play is a lot more direct and physical. In Spain, they're a lot more patient, and they have the ball a lot more.

I'm always bragging, always laughing with my Spain team-mates at Barcelona, saying I'll take 30 per cent possession and two goals - a win is a win. It's football.

The Cameroon fans always bring a good atmosphere.
