Astrid, on the other hand, is a fighter who's spent her life in the shadow of expectations and a strained family dynamic. Both women are marked by their pasts-Leah by the weight of lost trust and Astrid by a yearning for connection she's never fully embraced. When Astrid moves on loan to Arsenal, seeking both a fresh start and a chance to prove herself beyond her sister Vivianne's shadow, she's drawn into Leah's world-an environment where loyalty, honesty, and unspoken understanding are everything. At first, they seem like opposites: Leah, composed and unflappable; Astrid, sharp and guarded, hiding her vulnerabilities behind a confident façade. But as they spend more time together, their mutual respect turns into something deeper. Leah sees in Astrid a kindred spirit-a fighter, someone who knows what it's like to carry the weight of the world on her shoulders. Astrid, in turn, is captivated by Leah's unwavering commitment to her team and the quiet strength she exudes. Slowly, walls begin to crumble. Leah's fear of letting someone in fades as she begins to trust Astrid in ways she never thought possible.

In each other, they find a refuge from their pasts, and a future they never expected. Their love story is one of growth, vulnerability, and the courage to trust again, as they navigate the challenges of both football and life, learning that sometimes the most beautiful connections come from the most unlikely places.

Playing for Barcelona was always Adela Putellas' dream - sharing the pitch with her older sister, Alexia, was just the bonus. But nothing could have prepared her for the storm that came with falling for the one person she was never supposed to touch: Ona Batlle - her sister's best friend, teammate, and part of their tightly woven circle.

Because when love is forbidden, the fall hurts harder... and keeping secrets could tear everything apart.
