Megan Rapinoe is eyeing a “perfect” end to her remarkable career, with the USWNT legend reaching the NWSL final with OL Reign.
The two-time World Cup winner is set to hang up her boots once the 2023 campaign comes to a close.
There is one more outing to take in before then, with OL Reign having edged out the San Diego Wave 1-0 on Sunday to earn themselves a shot at the National Women’s Soccer League title.
Seattle-based Gotham FC stand between Rapinoe and a first NWSL crown.
However, the 38-year-old is hoping to enjoy a dream send off that would complete her medal collection.
The USWNT icon has told reporters of finishing in style.
“This is really the last one.
“This is the perfect way to end it. Gotta win it now.”
Reign coach, Laura Harvey, admits that Rapinoe’s impending retirement has given her side added incentive to claim domestic honours this season.
However, she told reporters of a legendary figure that has been showing no sign of slowing down.
“We knew this year we had a little bit of bite about us because it’s ‘Pinoe’s last year.

“We just wanted to extend it as long as we can.
“I mean, she ran about tonight like she was 28 not 38.”
