what an incredible moment for alexia.
2 years struggling with an ACL injury, then all the back and forth with contract negotiations.
and when she returned she wasn’t getting the minutes she wanted, even in today’s game. she comes in in extra time and scores a banger.
also big ups to the girls for holding that defense with an iron grip. i do think there was a luck element on our side today, but it’s all a part of football.
alexia and aitana, 2 big time players stepping up to the occasion to help us past the finish line.
special shoutout to lucy creating chances, cata for channeling her inner prime neuer, and ona for taking the boot to that beautiful face like a champ.
