Alexia,

After 14 unforgettable years, you’ve given us everything; your brilliance on the pitch, your leadership, your endless sacrifices, and memories that will stay with us forever. From the way you commanded the midfield to the pure joy you brought to every trophy, every comeback, every moment in blaugrana… you didn’t just play for this club. You were this club. 💙❤️

It’s bittersweet watching you walk away at your peak, but how fitting for a legend who always put the team first. Thank you for the years of magic, the battles you fought through, and the standard you set for women’s football. You’ve inspired millions, including me.

I hope you can finally rest without the weight of expectations, or the pressure to always be the one carrying the team. I hope you recover fully, not just physically from everything your body has been through, but emotionally too, giving yourself the time and space to heal and rediscover the simple joys away from the spotlight. And I hope you are finally at peace, surrounded by loved ones, feeling proud of the extraordinary legacy you’ve built and free to embrace whatever comes next with that same beautiful smile we all fell in love with.

This was heart wrenching. When geno comforted her 🥺
