The England international was a second half substitute and tallied her seventh assist in 12 appearances in all competitions when Grace Clinton latched onto the deep cross for our fourth of the night.
A first half brace from Aoba Fujino and clinical strike from Kerstin Casparij meant Elisa Bartoli’s opening goal proved to be just a consolation for the hosts as City move a step closer to the all-important top four.
WHERE TO WATCH CITY IN THE UWCL
And after the celebrations of our first UEFA Champions League win of 2026/27, Hemp was quick to applaud her teammates and the goals that got us over the line.
“It’s a massive result for us,” began Hemp.
“We’ve been waiting for three points and we’re pleased to have got it tonight. I thought we worked really hard, the goals were also great goals scored by us.
“We want to keep a clean sheet and that is something we pride ourselves in so we will look to improve in that area and figure out how the goal came about and stuff but it’s important that we look forward, look ahead and we’re really pleased to get four really good goals.
“Great goals by Aoba and Grace getting on the end of my ball and then Kerstin as well, fantastic goal.
“We are Man City we like to keep the ball, we like to possess it as much as we can. There were a few loose passes tonight, but I thought the goals that we did score were so good.
“We passed the ball about and they couldn’t deal with us at times. We want to push to create even more chances like that and be even more clinical but we got the job done.”
The victory in Monza comes after three successive draws to Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain that left City yearning for a win.
And for Hemp, that’s what made Tuesday evening’s triumph over Inter even sweeter and more importantly, is the perfect building block for our next UWCL game when we take on BK Hacken.
“It was important that we had an urgency about us but also being calm with that,” continued Hemp.
“I thought we played some really good football in the Champions League and we’ve been unfortunate to come away with only a point in each of the games so we were kind of overdue a win I guess.
“I thought the performance really deserved the points today and we’re pleased to finally take that step and win a game which was important for us and take that into next week against Hacken.”
