Speaking to Mundo Deportivo after the final, Laporta was full of praise for the two-time Ballon d’Or winner: “We are very happy with Alexia. She is an example for women’s football and for Barça. We hope she stays with us for as long as possible, as we believe this is beneficial for both parties,” the president stated.
