How about that? How are you? How are you feeling? Your awards, your goal, another final. Talk me through it.
Thank you, first of all. It's amazing, another final. We achieved it and it wasn't easy because we had a tough team in front of us.
Always we play Chelsea, it's a tough game and we have to sweat our t-shirt to achieve it. So I'm proud of my team and let's go for another final.
I don't know, this week of the preparation, what was it like for you? Because lost for the first time at home in five years, like unbelievable that you went unbeaten all that time.
But what was this week like, the focus of the team?
Yeah, well, we are not used to lose a lot of games. So when we lose the last week, we say, okay, we didn't do our best game.
We have to learn on this game and focus on the next because we had not much time. So, yes, we learn of our mistakes and to prepare better than the last week this game.
Apart from being a beautiful footballer, your mental toughness, your competitive spirit, seeing you in the press conference during the week, you look like a woman on a mission.
You had a fire in your belly. You really wanted to come out today and you did the job done in such beautiful fashion with your goal as well.
So it was nice to see you smiling again.
Yeah, because when you are talking about the mental, I'm represented like that because I can be skillful or I can have talent.
But I think the best part of me is my mental toughness and my ambitions. And of course, not only mine, my whole team that we are winning a lot, but we want to keep winning every year.
So this is not easy and I'm proud of my team.
I don't know. Have you seen your goal yet?
No.
So let's talk about your goal. So obviously you picked up the ball, did a little move from side to side, took a slight deflection.
But as soon as you picked up that ball, was there anything else on your mind? We can take a look here. You see here?
You knew when you picked, that's where you're the best. You know, it's why you're the best in the world.
A little bit lucky, but sometimes you have to choose. And in the box, you never know if the defence can take the ball.
But you're being very humble. It's the way you shifted the ball to be in that position. You need a double scissor move to get into that moment.
And you can see here what it means to you. I mean, you love winning, don't you? You just win trophies, you win awards. It's what you do. Do you ever get used to it?
No. My mind always is to give everything I have for the team and give my best version every year for the team.
And I think it's the same with all of my teammates that want to put everything for the whole team.
We are a great team and that's what makes us the team we are.
Amazing. Congratulations. See you in the final.
Yes. See you in the final. Can't wait to see you there.
We'll be there. See you in Bilbao.
See you in Bilbao.
Thank you very much.
Thank you. Alright, I've double ducked here.
