📌 Here’s what you’ll learn:
Guijarro on being an unsung hero:
“I feel very happy. I’ve always said that I feel very appreciated by the players and the staff. And for me, that’s the ultimate goal. Moreover, they pass that on to you as well. It’s a reason for me to be happy because it means I’m helping them – and contributing positive things within the team, which is what I want. It’s a great compliment.”
On how she entered the world of football:
“I started playing in league competitions when I was seven years old. Since I was very young with my father, I played a lot in the backyard. In the park I always went with my father to play, with his brother, with my uncle. Since I was a little girl, I always loved being with the ball.”
About her time with Barcelona:
“I’ve been here for 10 years. The last few years have been amazing, especially in terms of results, how we’re improving and how we’re achieving the goals we want.”
“With the national team as well, I am now where I want to be; the performances I am making, I am happy to contribute what I have to the club as well as to the national team. I am very happy and very satisfied.”
About playing in the Euro:
“This is what I always wanted – to play for the national team, to defend this shirt, your home. This is what any footballer wants to do, to reach the maximum.”
Former Barcelona manager Maria Texidor, who founded the Spanish players’ union FutPro alongside Guijarro: “Patry is a silent force. There are people who don’t need to speak out loud to be present and to make themselves count in the team game. For Patry, loyalty, values, goodness and purpose are important and she has demonstrated that on and off the field.”
