Alexia Putellas: "We have reached all the finals this season and we want to lift the Cup"

BARCELONA, 28 May. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The player and captain of Barça Femení Alexia Putellas highlighted "having reached all the finals this season", which is why they want to lift the Copa de la Reina, the last title at stake that they will play this Sunday (11:30 a.m.) against Sporting Huelva.

"We are Barça and we have to compete to win each title. We have reached all the finals this season and we want to lift the Cup. We did not achieve the 'Champions', but we have recovered and we are very excited", said Putellas in the press conference prior to the crash.

The captain of the Catalan team highlighted the team's ambition to face the final. "The responsibility to win is always there, from the first day I arrived it is an objective. It is clear that we want to win tomorrow and I am sure that people will travel to Alcorcón", she pointed out.

The municipality of the Community of Madrid will host the final of the Copa de la Reina, which will be held at the Municipal Stadium of Santo Domingo, a stage with a capacity of 5,000 people. "It has not surprised us, but the experiences we have lived in Camp Nou and Turin can hardly be repeated," added the captain.

Asked about the hot spells that players can suffer, when playing at 11:30 am, the player stressed that "with 30 or 40 degrees you don't give up the same as when you're at a maximum of 20 degrees, it's logical".

Finally, Putellas referred to the competitive pace of the French league, after losing (1-3) in the final against Olympique de Lyon. "Any player who has played in Spain and France will know better than me. I'm not saying that one league is better than another, just that one of its virtues is intensity and here quality, but the intensity is different," he added.

The current Ballon d'Or recognized the accumulated fatigue, having been competing for ten months. "We arrived as usual at this point, and logically it is not the same as competing in November," he said.
