Arsenal forward Stina Blackstenius has come out to say that she still cannot believe the club defeated Barcelona in the UWCL final. She recently had her say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to her, she was so happy to have scored the winning goal in such an important game, and she was extremely proud of how the entire team managed the game against a brilliant Barcelona team.
Blackstenius added that the victory is yet to fully sink in, and she’ll just enjoy the wonderful moment for Arsenal football club.
Blackstenius added, “I’m so happy I could give a goal today. They said I should try to run in behind and try to stretch them but this is once again a big, big team performance. I’m so proud of our journey, how we came here and how we managed the game today.
I just can’t believe it, all of it, it’s such a team performance from the very beginning until the very end. I just can’t believe we won the Champions League and we get to celebrate, it hasn’t sunk in yet.”
Club manager, Renée Slegers added, “Of course I am super proud. You can have all these ideas in your head and show videos and use your tactics board but when the moment is there, you have to play an opponent who has been so good for so long and execute it and that says so much about the players.
It’s probably the hardest game we have played so far. There was so much to deal with today. We were realistic about their quality but the way we managed the game, it was unbelievable and above all expectation. We were spot on.”
