She <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/match-of-the-day-full-english-ten-pin-bowling-lionesses-star-mary-earps-enjoys-home-comforts-returning-england-paris-saint-germain/blt9a2b8b5348a14fea" target="_blank">took the brave decision to leave her homeland</a> at Manchester United in the summer of 2024 and head to France.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>PSG <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mary-earps-not-like-jude-bellingham-tough-start-psg-lionesses-goalkeeper-dropped-bench/blt2c8c03c6ce7c337b" target="_blank">suffered elimination from elite continental competition</a> early in Earps’ time with the club, and she has told <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/oct/24/psgs-mary-earps-united-fans-come-out-to-watch-me-we-can-reminisce" target="_blank"><em>The Guardian</em></a> of suffering a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mary-earps-champions-league-psg-lionesses-nightmare-qualifying-exit-juventus-alisha-lehmann/blt0728b488e567deb5" target="_blank">5-2 aggregate defeat to Juventus</a> in the second round of qualifying: “I can’t really put it any other way than it was gutting. Especially with that being a massive factor into why I made the move to Paris. It was unfortunate, the way it happened. I think, in all honesty, we didn’t play our best and we got what we deserved, but it was just really unfortunate and is really hard to get past.” </p>

WHAT EARPS SAID

<p>Earps’ efforts in Paris were always going to come under scrutiny, with any supposed wobbles being magnified. She added on operating under the brightest of spotlights: “It is a massive compliment but you do get criticised more and held to a higher standard than what other people do. Then the extraordinary is expected. But, the reality of it is that I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m really grateful for everything that I’ve achieved and the exciting thing for me is that I still feel like I’ve got room for improvement.” </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The 31-year-old will never back down from such a challenge and remains determined to play important roles for club and country.</p>
