Clara Serrajordi, an 18-year-old midfielder for FC Barcelona’s women’s team, had the exciting opportunity to address the press at the Jean Bouin Stadium ahead of the crucial match against Paris FC. This game marks the end of the group stage in the UEFA Women’s Champions League, where Barcelona is on track to secure a direct passage to the quarter-finals. However, the competition for the top two spots—which would grant them the advantage of playing a potential semifinal second leg at home—is still very much alive.
Serrajordi’s presence alongside teammate Pere Romeu at the press conference hints at her potential starting position in the match, especially with Mapi León dealing with an ankle issue that may prevent her from playing, while Laia Aleixandri is expected to move into a central defensive role.
“I will make the most out of every minute I am given,” Serrajordi stated, reflecting the team’s strong ambition. “We want to win this match because our goal is to be at the top of the standings.”
She also expressed personal growth during her time with the team, saying, “I have improved in many aspects, particularly in switching the play and keeping the game simple, which I have focused on the most.” This press conference holds special significance for her as it marks her first one, allowing her to represent her team on such an important platform.
Serrajordi’s determination and excitement highlight the energetic and driven culture of the FC Barcelona women’s team, which continues to strive for success in the prestigious UEFA tournament.
