UWCL CHAMPIONS

FC Barcelona 0-7 Arsenal *Aggr.

18 years old Alexis playing her first ever champions league match against Arsenal.

FC Barcelona 4-0 Chelsea

27 years old Alexia playing her fifty-second UWCL match while carrying an injury. Played the game of her life by completely dominating the midfield, scored a penalty, and assisted the third goal.

Oof asking the difficult questions. I'm only allowed 10 pictures so i'm going to limit it to 12 athletes that i immediately thought of (dammit i'm going to miss people). This is not in order btw, i'm just listing them randomly.

1) Jewell Lloyd - Just love her

2) Hidilyn Diaz - I mean dude, how awesome is she? First gold medal for the Philippines ever!

3) Sunisa Lee - So proud of this kid, AA GOLD BABY

4) Barbra Banda - She played sooo well, really happy i got to see her play.

5) Kiran Badloe - Dude literally has the air bender signal on his head because he wants to become the master of wind, come on. (Also really awesome story how he got to win gold).

6) Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi - Goat and goat, love seeing them play.

7) Tom Daley - LOOK AT THE COZY HE KNITTED FOR HIS MEDAL (but again, awesome story).

8) Simone Biles - She has surpassed goat status, just give her a crown.

9) Tobin Heath and Christen Press - Gotta stay consistent hahahaha

10) Vivianne Miedema - I love her more than i can express in words.

1) Misugu Okamoto

She was so awesome, i was really sad she fell in her last run, but so proud that she tried to do her run anyway. These baby skateboarders really showed us what sport is all about.

2) Nafi Thiam, Anouk Vetter, Emma Oosterwegel

These women omg. For those who don’t know, they compete on the hardest event in athletics, the allround. Meaning they compete in 7 events that cover all of athletics. It was so exciting to watch and the stories for all of these women really were great.

3) Mutaz Essa Barshim and Gianmarco Tamberi

THESE TWO. You probably have already seen the story, but yeah, they decided to share the gold instead of keep going at it until one of them would win. They are great friends and both dealt with the same long term injury over the years, it’s just an all round great story.

4) Ana Marcela Cunha

She won the gold in the 10k after winning so many silvers, bronze and other high placements. People kept saying she wouldn’t win because she doesn’t have a great sprint, but she just kept pushing! She is also engaged to a Brazilian water polo and you know i always root for the gays.

5) Nesthy Petecio

She won the silver for the Philipines in boxing. She dedicated her medal to her country and the LGBTQ+ community.

"I am proud to be part of the LGBTQ community," "Go forward, fight! This win is also for you."

6) Churandy Martina

Many of you won’t know this man, but he was one of the Dutch flag barers. He is 37 years old, this was his 5th Olympics. He only competed in the 100m relay qualifications, he didn’t even get to run. His teammate who was supposed to hand him the stick pulled something in the last meters and they couldn’t pass.

He is still smiling, he never stops, never has, never will.

If you ever have an opportunity to take a CPR/First Aid class please do so.

However the link above is a great resource to start and learn the basics. If you’ve already been trained it’s a good idea to revise it very few months or so ❤️

"ما تفعله في الحياة سيكون لها صدى في القلب"

“What you do in life will resonate in the heart”

Well i’m actually surprised that it’s slightly written wrong it should be له instead of لها. Most arabic tattoos on foreigners don’t even make sense but hers does big 👏🏻 to the artist or probably google translate for saving her back from permanently putting something written wrongly in arabic😂

Here’s other pic from 2017 cause why not🤷🏻‍♀️

This week they announced that on june 15 the league will be professional. How did the Barça locker room recieved the news?

Very well. It's what we have been fighting so long for. There are many things happening that people don't know about, meetings, phone calls....

We have been preassuring as much as possible for this to become a reality and move forward in a way that can't be reversed. This will open the door a lot more to the objective of becoming one of the best leagues in the world.

Could the Barça-academy model be the main reason for this amazing year?

All the achivements back-up this model, yes. Two years ago we had to make a choice and the club betted on their own. They told us we had to evolve, that they would do everything possible to help us become the best, and I think they did.

Are the younger generations aware of what it took to reach this point?

I was talking about this with Jana and Bruna the other day. I told them 'It's your 1st year and you have won it all. What now? You have at least 15 years of career ahead of you. That's enough time to do it all over again.' Yes, they know what it took but at the same time can't be 100% aware of what they didn't live and experienced..

What can we expect from this team next season?

It's very hard to achieve everything we have, but even harder to repeat. We have to start by changing our mindsets and avoid thinking that we have peaked and got it all, we have to think that none of it matters. That winning a champions and a trebele will give us any advantage on the next matches.

It's not the whole interview. I picked some of my favorite bits.
