Greenwood: 'Man City are not champions' — why the warning should worry WSL rivals
In a Sky Sports feature, Alex Greenwood reflects on what it means to transition from WSL winner to a team regarded as true champions, suggesting Manchester City Women still have ground to make up on the league's established powers. Her comments underscore a competitive mindset within the squad heading into a critical stretch of the season. The framing — downplaying their status while clearly targeting the title — is a deliberate signal to Chelsea Women, Arsenal Women and other WSL contenders. For a City side that has invested heavily, the message is that internal standards remain higher than the public perception of their trophy haul.
Read the full story at skysports.comGreenwood's framing is the kind of statement that tends to land differently inside a dressing room than in a headline. By refusing to label City as champions, she is effectively telling her teammates the job is unfinished, while publicly putting rivals on notice. For WSL watchers, it reinforces a familiar pattern at City Women: a squad that has collected cups and has the depth to compete for the league, but is judged against a standard set by Chelsea's dynasty. If City are to convert ambition into a title, the next few weeks — against direct rivals — will be where that claim gets tested.
