Patricia Guijarro, the MVV of the match and scorer of a double, highlighted the team’s good play, especially in the first half. “Before the break we were able to control the game very well and then not so much, but we opened the scoring very early and that is always important. One of our goals is always to keep a clean sheet and we have achieved it. Therefore, it is to be happy,” said the Barcelona player.
Asked if in the end the team was going for the ‘little hand’ she answered, between smiles: “We always try to respect our rival and the best way to respect them is to go 100%. “We always do it like this.”
Claudia Pina
We have forgiven in the first half
For her part, the other scorer of the match, Claudia Pina, acknowledged that the result could have been much larger. “We were forgiving in the first half, in which we were at a very good level. Afterwards the match was more uncontrolled because Madrid also went further up.”
Real Madrid center back, María Méndez, assured that “the key has been the early goal they scored against us. Nothing has turned out the way we wanted. Above all, we have lacked solidity. Now we have to turn the page and focus on recovering.”
Afredo Di Stéfano recorded the best attendance of the season for a women’s match, with 5,100 spectators. The audience chanted Alberto Toril’s resignation several times throughout the match.
