and we start the new year with a bang! wow, what a performance! these players wanted to make a statement and they did. đââïž
this lineup was the result of injuries (not pere's intellect) but it ended up being a showcase for the kids to show that they could step up. carla, sydney, and clara all had excellent minutes. and aĂŻcha was so solid at the back. we also got a sydney brace and ainoa goal too.
carla juliĂ especially was a revelation as right winger, and she will make an excellent backup for caro in this position. đ
our pitxitxi ewa pajor continues her goal tally with a poker. and carla had the most beautiful nutmeg to goal combination. đźâđš
and it was wonderful to see the kids showing off and having multiple goal scorers. we can put together this type of performance with some of the best players in the world injured and/or on our bench watching along. it's an amazing feat. đ
bonus: alexia breaks her penalty curse with a solid penalty as well!
as for madrid cff, that was a poor performance. defensively, offensively, goalkeeping wise, they were terrible all around. and madrid cff has been an incubator of young talent in the past, but today's loss needs to be studied and then quickly forgotten by them.
