Barça has two Champions of the Champions in its squad

Barça pursues its first Champions League title next Sunday, May 16 (9:00 p.m., on Gol TV), in the final that will be played against Chelsea in Gothenburg (Sweden). The illusion is maximum in the Barcelona squad. And is not for less. The continental trophy of women's football could not only be in the showcases of the Barça club for the first time. It would also do it in Spanish women's football and in the record of most of the players who will defend the elastic culé in Swedish territory.

Of the 25 players that Barça has registered in this Champions League, only two know what it is to win a title of this level. Is about Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic and Kheira Hamraoui. The first of the two did in the 2014-15 season in the ranks of Frankfurt, with an anecdotal fact that has a great Spanish stamp.

And it is that the Swiss side raised that Champions League with her then wardrobe partner Vero Boquete, who became the first Spanish footballer to win a Champions League. The Galician was joined by Lola Gallardo in this data last summer, when the former Atlético was proclaimed continental champion with Lyon.

For its part, Hamraoui can boast of arriving in Gothenburg with two Champions in his record. He won the two trophies consecutively (2017 and 2018) in the ranks of Olympique de Lyon, in which he did not have weight as a starter. In fact, she was not a starter in either of the two finals in which she was proclaimed champion with the Lyon team.

He was also unable to play for Barça in the 2019 Budapest final against his former team, Lyon, due to a penalty. Nor did he when he was a member of PSG in the 2015 final, when she was not called up in the match that the Parisians lost to Frankfurt. In this way, the French midfielder faces her fifth Champions League final with the illusion of being a starter or playing for the first time for the first time in a duel of this level.
