Pep Guardiola has been the last to surrender to the quality of Aitana Bonmatí. “She is a player that I am completely in love with because of the way she plays. She would say that she is like the Iniesta of women’s football, ”praised the Manchester City coach, who highlighted the“ incredible impact ”that FC Barcelona has on this sport.
Guardiola assured that he will see the final tomorrow, but he did not want to reveal his favorite between a Spanish team with a majority of culé and England, which has up to six City players: “Both teams play very well. I’m very involved with Barcelona, ??you know it means a lot to me, but at the same time I’m in England and I know several girls who play here”.
The City coach acknowledged being “impressed” with England’s good performance and praised the coach of the ‘Lionesses’, highlighting her “consistency” in reaching the World Cup final after winning the Euro Cup last summer.
Guardiola also spoke of the inspiration that will serve for the new generations: “I imagine that girls of 12, 13, 14 years old see [Alessia] Russo or Lucy Bronze, or Keira [Walsh] and they dream of playing like them. It’s an incredible contribution to the future of women’s football. They have come to stay.”
