My favourite player is Harder so I use that cry harder meme like 10 times a day at least!
listen, with the total implosion and mass player exodus that wolfsburg is going through right now, we need a proper german rival. and maybe bayern (with pernille) can be that team. let's see these scenes again.
Our girls performed well for this leg. Lucy Bronze was awesome in this game.
Soo Hampton can move fast. Can I say Chelsea got a taste of their own medicine during those last minutes? I laughed when Cata took the time to get the ball back in play - Chelsea fans were outraged 🤣
Aitana is defo the player of the match. She is so smol but soooo amazing.
I was watching through DAZN and the commentators are just so... eh. I watched the match on mute because of them.
Onto the Finals! Let's get that cup again. Força Barça!
so much to unpack and analyse! but the main thing is that it was a gritty, hard fought win and like aitana said, we learned and adapted and gave them the same tricks back.
our girls bounced back in a big way (so happy for aitana to have gotten her flowers) and a much better turn of form for mariona. lucy turned up and was good for both of these legs. as for alexia, girl had to get her aggression out, and she knows when she needs to defend too 😉
anyway, i'm sure there will be a lot written over the next few days on what we have to improve and potential changes in formation and rotation because there are still a lot of matches left to play. and we need to do clean up our mistakes in order to win the final!
and of course we'll need to deal with a lot of whinging from english fans. am i annoyed that a lot of legitimate commentary and criticism of this match is being drowned out by ref controversy again? sure. but it is what it is. the issue of professionalism and qualifications for refs in the women's game continues to be an issue, so it's high time for the powers to be to do something about it instead of complaining. so let's enjoy this high while we can!
i love those little goofballs. plus, after the rough start to their own lliga season, they were able to turn it around and come out as champions! so extra celebrating for them! 💙❤️
and i know folks have been annoyed at jona all week, but it was pretty sweet that he started off the press conference by congratulating the b girlies, nostra filial.
Do you think alexia not playing at all has any significance to her renewal? Seems odd to me
no, it's just a tactical and technical decision on the part of jona and the rest of the staff. look at alexia's face. she's a professional and she knows the situation in these types of matches. and she is so happy to go to the final!
don't forget we still technically have the league to play for and the copa de la reina final on 18 may! so plenty more opportunities to see alexia ball left. she's not going anywhere. jo hi crec!

i'm sorry but aitana continues to be the funniest person on the pitch, even when she's cramping and struggling to go off the field, she needs to give saludos/greet alexia as her substitute😅

Dropping her for this might not be good for her confidence and her face shows it https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/mariona-caldentey-of-fc-barcelona-interacts-with-fans-as-news-photo/2150433286
i don't care what the haters on twitter have to say. mariona had some solid minutes for us tonight! and look at that face of joy! nothing like a good old fashioned remontada to turn that frown around!
