The scorer throne was never so 'Beautiful' in the Champions League

Jenni Hermoso's scoring legacy also disembarks in the Champions. After having become the top historical scorer for Barça and the National Team this season, the Madrid forward is pursuing a new milestone: to be the first Spanish top scorer in the Women's Champions League.

With five goals scored in four games and one average of one goal every 55 minutes of play, The star of Barça faces the great challenge of being the queen of goals in Europe. And he does it after improving his rhythm going to door in this tournament, where he scored six goals in seven games for Rayo Vallecano in 2011-12 and in which it also reached the figure of five goals with Barça in 2016-17, although for that little hand they needed twice as many games (8).

Undoubtedly, that of Carabanchel does not stop growing on the green. And he does it accompanied by a Barça who faces with “enthusiasm” the first leg of the semifinals against PSG on the way to what may be the second European final for the culé team and Spanish women's football. “The team is much more prepared than a few years ago,” Lluís Cortés said yesterday at a press conference. The Catalan coach stressed the objective of “go for the goal” in Paris.

An objective that seems easy to meet with an attack as fit as the one in his dressing room, with which Barça has beaten its record for goals in the League (125 targets in 24 games). Jenni Hermoso, top scorer in the Champions League together with Sam Mewis (Manchester City), who was eliminated in the previous round by Barça, are added Nigerian Asisat Oshoala, who for now is out due to injury, and Lieke Martens, with four and three goals each one in Champions.

Returning to the top scorer, it should be noted that Jenni comes to the duel with the Parisians with a very fine aim, after having scored four goals in the last week, with two doubles in the league against Depor (9-0) and Granadilla (6-1). Continuing with this pace will be decisive to continue to shine in Europe, where its main threat is in the Chelsea, with a Fran Kirby who adds four goals and that he will also seek to sit on the European throne of the goal. The one that for now has a Spanish label called Jenni Hermoso.
