Quotes from Aitana Bonmatí Interview with UEFA on Monday, May 29 about FC Barcelona’s Femeni Champions League final against Wolfsburg
When quiz about facing Wolfsburg in the UWCL final
There are many things at stake in a final. So a final is a final, and sure it will be a very close game, so we’ll have to be very attentive and focused throughout the whole game. As I’ve said before, they have great players that might hurt us at any moment.
When talking about the impressive run the Barca Femeni and playing her fourth UWCL final in five years
I think we’ve evolved progressively. We started small and built up, and in between we lifted our first Champions League trophy. Then we lost, but I think we came out stronger after that defeat because, in the end, I always say that often losing helps you improve. And losing sometimes means winning, because if you keep on winning, you don’t realise what you’re doing wrong, what you can fix. It also helps you to never give up, to improve every day and I think this season has been a clear example, to be back in a final again after losing last year against Lyon.
When quizzed on her feeling about the club
When I hear the word Barça, I have a very deep feeling, it does come from the inside because it has been like this for my whole life. I play for Barça and I have always been a supporter. I’m very proud to support and play for this club. It’s very rewarding for me since this is something I dreamed of as a child.

When quizzed about the transfer rumor linking the FC Barcelona Femeni and Ona Batlle “What I know is that she’s a Man United player now, with the Champions League final I don’t think it’s time to talk about names.”
When quizzed about the transfer market this summer: “What is clear is that this year’s team will not be the same. Next year there will surely be changes. There will be players coming and players leaving“
When talking about how the wage cuts will affect the Barca Femení section: “Everything that happens to the club affects all sections. What the president and the Board of Directors have always told us is that the commitment toward the women’s team will not stop. Therefore, well, we understand that the objectives for next year and the commitment for next year are to be equal or even higher”
