Barcelona superstar Alexia Putellas was spotted in tears on Sunday as she was substituted during the team’s Champions League win over Bayern.
Alexia scored twice as Barcelona booked their place in the final of the competition for the sixth straight season, but her emotional response led many to speculate about a possible summer exit.
The Barca star was asked after the game about her tears and revealed why she had been so emotional at Camp Nou.
“How could I not get emotional, another full Camp Nou… It’s
been a week where I’ve been struggling a bit,” she said.
“And upon seeing the change, all the emotions I’ve been holding back all week came out. It’s not bad to show them.
“I’m so proud to be a part of it and I feel so loved. It’s been an overwhelming feeling of love, of achieving a goal we’ve had for so long. Happiness, above all.”
Patri Guijarro was also asked about Alexia’s tears and told the media: “I told her she’s the best and that we would hold on, that we were going to make it to Oslo.”
Barcelona Femeni will now take on OL Lyonnais in the final on May 23rd in Oslo.
