I had to take a step down to get back onto the road that’s taken me to where I am today. Never giving up is something that is part of who I am. - Pauline Peyraud-Magnin

I think nowadays it’s essential to be present on social media, to promote women’s football and show the positive aspects of it.

People identify with sportspeople, and even more so with football players, since it is the most-watched sport in the world. So it is important to convey a positive message, because a lot of people look up to us.

In my opinion, one of the major things that’s so attractive about women’s football, especially for the fans, is how approachable we are. We always take time at the end of the games to take pictures with the fans, sign autographs and chat with them.
