Turin. The new European giant Barcelona in front of the history champion Lyon.
The Champions League title is on the line.
This is the little thing.
Not only does Turin shiver from the early Italian summer heat that makes tourists and residents sit in outdoor cafés until the wee hours of the morning.
Saturday’s stage of the Giro d’Italia between Santina and Turin may attract Italian sports fans even more, but after the 14th stage is over, a new history of women’s football is likely to be written in the city.
Expectations for the Champions League final are huge.
More than 10,000 barkavans have arrived in the Italian industrial community, which has just woken up from the fog of Eurovision.
At stake, the most sought-after title in Europe.
Losing important insights
In terms of big brushstrokes, these are major issues that will affect the way women’s football will go.
Should Barcelona’s cycle of optimum change of force in European women’s football end? Or that most of the heroes leona seven-time winner of CL, shows that it is possible to beat fast football with tactical prowess and routine.
Lyon won its most recent title in 2019, the French outperform Barcelona In the end.
The trip to Budapest was a traumatic experience for the Spaniards. He attacked Lyon and found a sailor from the rooftops behind Barcelona’s stadiums. Dutch gunpowder packet Shanice van de Sanden spotted balls in the middle and the Norwegian star striker Ada Hegerberg It was a theater inside the box. She did a hat-trick alone against many Barcelona defenders.
The match was very exposed defensively for the Spaniards, and at the same time the loss with important insights.
“I have terrible memories from that final. It was our first and it went poorly. It was very difficult in the short term, but it was good in the long term in some ways. We took it more as a team, showed the level we needed and trained hard after this loss, So said the shooting queen Alexia Putillas before the last meeting in Turin.
Two years later, Barcelona stunned the footballing world when the team suspended Magdalena Ericsson Chelsea at Gamla Olivi. Mission accomplished and a new dimension of intensity combined with artistic brilliance is one of the most prominent trends in women’s football.
Tonight’s match is a meeting between new European giants Barcelona and historic Lyon women’s football with its president Jean-Michel Aulas, who has defended the club’s women’s football while most of his teammates at Europe’s top men’s clubs still shrug their shoulders with the men’s football environments.
Are you going to write a new story tonight?
Barcelona woke up as a club, better late than never, and reliably (and the pressure of society/sponsors?) began living up to its motto, “Més que un club”, rather than a club.
Barcelona, which has patiently nurtured its players in their Tika Taka academy over a long period, is the pride of Catalonia that has turned up like a whirlwind and when things happen in real time, everyone wants to participate and not just take notes on social media.
During the historic Champions League season, with a new format that means more matches, team matches and televised matches, Barcelona women filled the Camp Nou stadium.
The heft the day before the match in Turin was respectable and cautious on both sides.
Lyon regained after missing the last season 2020/2021 injured Ada Hegerberg. The Norwegian pointed out before the final that Lyon had never lost to Barcelona.
Lions coach Sonia Bombastor has admitted that she was inspired by Barcelona’s intensity and said it would be a mental ordeal to survive the attack.
Barcelona’s young coach Jonathan Giraldes, 30, humbly remembered the challenge:
“History shows that we never beat Lyon. We have a chance to do something we haven’t done before.”
There is a lot to suggest that a new story is being written (again!) tonight.
