It's the Women's Champions League Final. It's Barcelona Vs Arsenal. The best women's club teams fighting for European glory. This is my first ever champions league final and it won't be my last I assure you. I'm so nervous for this game, it's to be expected when you're in this position. Most of the girls on the team all have CL final experience so I'm confident to be around them.
Arsenal are going to be a very difficult opponent. Especially with the best defensive duo in the world, Erin Kelly and Leah Williamson. Those two together on the field are like Vidic and Ferdinand for Man United. Dominate. Controlling. Explosive. It's going to be very hard to break them down.
The team and I are in the tunnel just waiting. Waiting for us to start this game. I look at Leah who's in front of Erin. They both have their game faces on. No signs of nervousness but deep down they are, we all are. It's the Champions League final. If you're not at least nervous about it, then there's something wrong with you.
We are then told to walk onto the field. I hear Leah yell to her team, "Come on, Girls. Let's win this!!" All the girls smile and cheer on with their captain, with Erin just smiling with a look of love in her eyes for Leah.
Yeah she's whipped without a doubt.
However, so am I.
"¡Ganemos este maldito juego! ¡Vamos!" Alexia yells at us. (Let's win this fucking game! Let's Go!) We all cheer on.
Speaking about Alexia, that night we made love was fantastic. She treated with pure love and care. It was my first time with anyone and I don't think I could've had my first time with someone so perfect as Alexia. Our relationship since then has only flourished. We made our relationship official to the public and there was so much support even from men football players. Of course there were some assholes who didn't support it, but we didn't care.
You shouldn't care about what people say if you're LGBT+. Just be yourself. Don't let people get into your head. That's what they want. They want to have a reaction that'll make you look bad and they'll use that against you.
We then walk onto the pitch. As I look around at the stadium it's packed. Half the stadium is filled with Arsenal fans while the other half is filled with Barcelona fans. It's so awesome to see how far the women's game as come. That we can bring so many fans to see us play.
Both teams are lined up in their own half and the whistle blows for the game to start with the fans cheering on their respective teams. Let's win this!
38th Minute:
It's been a very good back and forth match between both teams. Both having shots and saves. Tackles and blocks. Currently I'm in the box waiting for pass which I get, but it's about to go out. I see the keeper off his line a bit and I see a tiny window to shoot the ball, so I decide to shoot. I scored! 1-0!
