Quotes

“We do not set limits.”

“I won’t risk the years I have left to play.”

“Compete and having a winning mindset then the results will come.”

“I must confess that I wasn’t aware of where I was playing until it was over.”

“Just seeing the ball go in was thrilling. I felt so proud, especially for my family.”

“Barcelona and Spanish players are among the best in the world, and we have proven it.”

“The first thing that this situation made clear to me is the real and pure love I have for this sport.”

“The captain is the first to make a commitment to the objectives that are set internally, they have to lead by example to reinforce that.”

“To my teammates, I am with you and trust you completely. I know what you are capable of doing every day and how powerful you are.”

“But when you put in the work and people have faith in you, the results come. That’s how it has been for me.”

“There’s so much hope and pride for what Barcelona has done, where our league goes and our Spanish players.”

“Fame is just another thing you have to deal with. My life has changed in the last year and it’s still changing, but I’m just concentrating on what I do every day. The rest doesn’t bother me.”

“When I led the ‘war cry’ in the pregame huddle, I told the others to set aside any emotions that might neutralise our game and to focus on competing.”

“At last, we started to enter in the important tournaments lately and, to a certain extent, we could take away the inferiority complex. I think that the mindset is that, to take advantage of every daily opportunity to improve and rise to the challenge of the tournament. [We must] keep doing what we have done until now.”

“I feel the social responsibility that comes with being a woman, my mother has it, you have it. The fact of being a woman means you have a social responsibility because in history, amongst all of them, they have brought about change such as women’s suffrage etc. Now we are fighting for equal opportunities, valuing a person regardless of their sex and that is important for all women, that we are all conscious of that whatever our profession may be. Ours, even more so because I have not had female role models. Girls today see that they have named several Barça players as the best in Europe and the most important thing is that these girls have the opportunity to do the same. There is still a way to go.”
