The 22-year-old on facing
Manchester City in the Women’s
Champions League quarter-finals and watching videos of Sergio Busquets to improve
Patri Guijarro has unfinished business in the Champions League. In 2019, the first female player to graduate from Barcelona’s La Masia academy was injured and could only watch as her team suffered a 4-1 defeat to French champions, Lyon, in the final. The following year, in a pandemic-stunted mini-tournament, they were eliminated by Wolfsburg in the semi-finals. Close but not close enough.
This week
Barcelona step up their attempts to go all the way as they take on Manchester City in the first leg of their quarter-final. The game has been moved from Barcelona to Monza in
Italy because of Covid restrictions but it offers the team a chance to prove how far they have come since the defeat two years ago.
