The only downside to the historic conquest of the Women’s Champions League in Gothenburg was that Barça couldn’t share it with their fans. The covid prevented the presence of the public in the stands of the Gamla Ullevi Swedish. The azulgranas, after the two mass baths at the Camp Nou against Madrid and Wolfsburg, hope to get rid of the thorn and share with their fans the revalidation of the continental crown in Turin. On German soil, the new ‘culés’ goddesses showed that they are human, stopping a winning streak of 45 games in a row, but they got the ticket to their third European final in four years
Some of the most unconditional ‘culés’ followers have already traveled to Wolfsburg. They were able to fulfill the objective of celebrating the pass to the grand final, although they suffered more than expected. If in the first half at times the Barcelona chants were heard more than the locals, in the second half they witnessed that their goddesses are human. the box of Jonathan Giraldezwho had won all his games this season, found himself in an unknown situation this season, when in a seen and not seen the scoreboard indicated a 2-0.
It was not the game expected by the Catalans who saw it in Wolfsburg or those who followed them on TV, but it was a good touch of attention. Both for the players and for their fans. For the former, who had not lost a match since June of last year, so that they do not trust Turin. And for their fans, to value the barbarity of what has been achieved this season by the record-breaking women’s club, which has set itself the challenge of overcoming the incredible last season: after having lifted the League and the Super Cup, the only trophy that eluded them in 2021, they now aspire to improve last year’s treble with a poker, revalidating the European and Cup crowns. Last year they only lost in the league against Atlético and also on penalties in the Super Cup and in Europe they only conceded a draw against PSG and an inconsequential defeat against the Manchester City.
