Toril: “We're on a good run and will be going all out'
'It's a really exciting game and we're raring to get out there', declared Lucía.
Alberto Toril and Lucía addressed the media in an online press conference in the build-up to Tuesday’s Women’s Champions League quarter-final first-leg encounter between Real Madrid and Barcelona. The coach previewed the match in the following terms: “We’re on a really good run and are feeling great. We’ve got some really solid foundations and are a difficult side to beat. We know that they’re tough opponents, but this is the Champions League quarter-finals and I’m sure that we’ll put in a good performance”.
“We’re making some really good progress. We’ve improved in the league and are climbing up the table. We’re raring to achieve our main goal. This is our first season in the Champions League and we’ve made it through to the final eight. We’re going to go all out and display out DNA and we hope that the fans really enjoy it”.
Zornoza & Asllani
“Claudia is a really important player for us and has improved massively. She offers us a lot of options and is able to create a lot of situations. As for Asllani, she isn’t getting regular minutes and has had an injury, which means she’ll miss out tomorrow”.

“We’re up against a great team with great pedigree and excellent players, just like we have. Every time we go up against them it gives us an opportunity to get closer to them. We took the lead in our league match and competed really well. That’s the key to improvement: taking steps as a team. We’re strong and that’ll be the approach we take into tomorrow’s game”.
Lucía: “We’re feeling really confident”
“We’re feeling really confident. The run we’re on has given us a big boost, we’ve been in really good form in recent games and are raring to get our there, whilst being aware of the team we’re up against. The run we’re on is important for us, as is that consistency that has seen us win games. It’s exciting and positive to be involved in this game”.
“We’re aware that they’re a great side with excellent players. Many of their good players operate out wide and they’re strong out there, but there’s so much more to their game than that. We’ll have to counter them and be strong in those situations and try to nullify their strengths”.
