Georgia Stanway praises Patri Guijarro ahead of Barça's clash

At the Camp Nou, under the floodlights, the fans are awaiting the clash between Barça and Arsenal in the Champions League, while Patri Guijarro is accumulating praise from everywhere and the media are highlighting her influence in midfield.

She doesn't have the Ballon d'Or she deserves, but her football captivates everyone. Patri Guijarro is the benchmark for Barça and the Spanish national team. Her quality is evident and the blaugrana club would be wise to secure her continuity. The Mallorcan is one of those players who seems absent yet runs everything, and lately she hasn't stopped receiving praise.

The latest praise was dropped yesterday by Georgia Stanway, Arsenal footballer, whom Barça will host tomorrow at the Camp Nou in a Champions League match expected to draw about 25,000 people. The English international made it clear that Patri has immense talent. “Ballon d'Or? I don’t know why, but I thought Patri was going to win it,” commented Yaca Garcia‑Planas. Renée Slegers confirmed Ona Batlle’s availability against Barça. Mario Ríos opined that the toughest player he has faced is her, pointing out the difficulty of defending her movements in midfield.
