Hi community!
"We want to play a good game, give the Catalans something to celebrate, and share a great day tomorrow," said the Barça forward before the final against Atlético Madrid.
"The defeat in the Champions League final was a tough blow for everyone," she added.

In the run-up to this Saturday's Copa de la Reina final (7 p.m./La 2 and TV3) against Atlético in Huesca, Barça striker Salma Paralluelo (21) admitted her desire to make up for the defeat in Lisbon against Arsenal: "The defeat in the Champions League final was a hard blow for everyone. We weren't able to play at the level we had been playing at, but I think now we're thinking about the goal we have tomorrow, which is to win the national treble. We have to remember that we've reached all four finals out of four possible titles. Now we have the Copa de la Reina and we're going to go out there to win."
Regarding her physical condition, she explained why she started the season late: "I needed a break, and it was a huge truth. I can find better sensations on the field training with my teammates, in games. Especially with the pain that was limiting me quite a bit, now I'm playing with much less, and that was the goal."
Regarding the busy schedule, Salma said, "It is what it is, and it's true that there are more demanding games coming up, and there's little rest. You may arrive more tired, your legs may be more stressed, but in the end, it's our job to try to manage it in the best way possible with the team and the staff."
As for whether it would have been worse to stay with Barça and not go to the Spanish national team and not have been able to change the mindset of the Lisbon final, or if going with the Rojale helped to change the mindset, Salma wanted to argue it: "It's true that it was a bit strange to take that hard blow after the final and not join up with your team again, which is surely what you need, but also this change of mindset of going to the national team and turning the page, having another game and another objective ahead of you is a good way to continue training, to continue playing football and to think about what comes next."
See You soon!
