Alexia Putellas: "We want to repeat the Champions League final and win it yes or no"

   MADRID, 23 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The captain of FC Barcelona Women, Alexia Putellas, addressed the Barça fans on Tuesday to ensure that the team wants to "repeat the Champions League final" this season and "win it yes or yes", since they feel they owe it to the club supporters.

"We are very happy to be here with you again, and enjoy the start of the new season. I want to welcome the new signings, I am sure they will help us a lot to achieve our goals, welcome to the best club in the world, you are in your home", began the player during the presentation of the squad just before the Joan Gamper Trophy against French side Montpellier.

Thus, despite his serious injury -he will be out for between 10 and 12 months after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee-, Putellas was the protagonist of the Barça party and thanked the first fans who approached the Johan Cruyff. "We appreciate how close we feel to you, we want the Johan Cruyff to be a stronghold. Last season was a season of records, but it no longer serves us", he asserted.

For this reason, Putellas urged her teammates to lift the Champions League this year, a title that eluded the Barça club last season, despite reaching the final of the tournament. "We want to lift the three titles again, we want to repeat the Champions League final and win it yes or yes this year, because we owe it to you," she said, addressing the fans.

Finally, as a reference and first captain of the squad, he advised the youngest in the club to enjoy "a lot" of their training stage. "Defend these shirts with pride, work every day with a lot of passion. In the future you will have to be here playing finals and lifting titles," Putellas predicted before Johan Cruyff, who will hang the "no tickets" sign this Tuesday.
