A recent boost for Barcelona has been the return of three-time Ballon d’Or Feminin winner Aitana Bonmati.
The midfielder had been sidelined since November with a broken leg, but made her return in the semi-final second-leg victory against Bayern Munich on May 3.
She has started only one game since then — a league game against CD Tenerife — but recently told ESPN that she is prepared to contribute to the final however she can.
💬 “I probably would have liked to play a bit more to build confidence, to get into my stride and be better prepared for this final. But that’s not up to me. And obviously the team comes first.
“So with what I’ve had, I’ve tried to find that rhythm, that confidence so that I can contribute wherever I can in this final, which the team has been waiting for for so long.
“Obviously, I will contribute whatever is needed of me both on and off the pitch. Because ultimately, I consider myself an experienced player that has been through many finals and many matches like this.
“I think I can also help in that regard and, obviously, on the pitch I’d love to contribute as well.”
