The Arsenal-Barça (0-4) of this fifth day of the Women’s Champions League, settled again with an overwhelming choral performance by the Catalans, as happened in the Johan Cruyff (4-1), had many stories and different protagonists, but one stood out above the others.
Jenni Beautiful, for example, they took home a new scoring double (28 ‘and 75’), with a goal in each half playing false ‘9’. Just days after he recovered on social networks a photo of the Ballon d’Or gala in which he appears posing smiling next to Leo messi Y Luis Suarez. The goal calls the goal. Marta Torrejon it could also be the other heroine of the day. After enduring repeated booing by the English crowd at the Emirates Stadium for a foul, the player nearly silenced the stadium with a shot off the crossbar. Or maybe it must have been the night of Rolfö, which was marked an impressive howitzer from outside the area.
But the European day was special for another reason, for the reappearance of Graham Hansen. The Norwegian had received the medical discharge the day before, entering the list of summoned. The forward had been out for almost five weeks due to heart problems that she noticed in the league game against Real Sociedad (10-1) on October 31. She underwent diagnostic cardiological evaluation tests and no alarming results were detected, unlike what happened with the Kun Agüero.
So late in the second half, Graham Hansen entered the Barça festival against the English and wanted to celebrate his return by celebrating a goal. It was a well-directed header that did not turn into a goal in the end. The important thing, however, is his return to the pitch. The best news.
“It was very nice to come back after what has surely been the most surreal month of my career. I felt my body refuse to work ‘Is this really happening to me?’, I thought. I had to accept that I had to trust that I was going to be lucky. I feel like I have a fantastic medical team, friends and family who made me feel safe and calm about what was going to happen, so from the bottom of my heart that is no longer broken! Thank you friends, family and doctors. Thank you for having supported me, having been so kind to me and giving me back the desire to compete again. I’m here to stay, I’m a culé, “he wrote on social networks.
