“After nine years defending the goal of the best team in the world, the time has come to end this stage.”
Ajax. Barcelona. Benfica. Brann. Chelsea. Häcken. Olympique Lyonnais. Paris Saint Germain. Europe’s elite have entered the quarterfinals.
There are certain rivalries in sports that ignite more than passion, a feeling or sentiment similar to disgust. But that feeling or sentiment similar to disgust is what keeps us entertained for 90 minutes on a football pitch even from the stands, more intent on beating the opponent than one would in war. And for Spanish giants FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, “El Clásico” has been around before my grandparents and yours.
Yes, you can have it all. Dream car. Dream house. Dream spouse. For some, wishing upon a star is enough. For others, hard work and dedication don’t bluff. In the case of FC Barcelona Femeni player Aitana Bonmatí, a golden ball was the reward for her record-breaking and ridiculous 2022/2023 season as a footballer.
Aitana Bonmatí had an interview with MARCA’s David Menayoa, where she talked about the Women’s World Cup, the Ballon d’Or shouts, how she improves herself every day, and her decision to return to the national team.
Barcelona derrotó 5-0 al Sporting de Huelva en el Estadi Johan Cruyff con goles de Lieke Martens, Jenni Hermoso, Aitana Bonmatí, Asisat Oshoala y Marta Torrejón. Con esta victoria, el equipo culé alcanzó los 96 puntos y jugará su última jornada de liga el domingo ante el Eibar. Además, el Barça registra 199 goles en la temporada.
