Lina and the corner kicks

These games of playing against 14 can make us angry but it is the fate of Real Madrid. More suffering and learning. We will be very big

There is still a path to walk: understanding that we are Real Madrid, also in refereeing, and failing less, scoring more, believing it.

We started very well, and missing chances at PSG goal. Clear arrivals, a ball from Weir that went just wide. A Freja Siri launch: stick. It was already clear that we were going to have options.

But we fell into the usual, the goal from set pieces. Esther didn't bother her pair, and the 1-0 came too soon and too unfair. And if there was any option to return to the game with some speed... Lina Lehtovaara appeared to show that last year with Barcelona was no coincidence. It can be said, from the game seen on DAZN Spain, that neither Lina nor the game's narrator are followers of Real Madrid. The Finnish hides it worse, always delighted to win the tv shot, stopping the game, making our team desperate. Already in minute 20 Athenea was snorting to see the criteria to one side or the other. And of course... when Olga was not smart going to the ground, Lina had little trouble whistling the penalty. The french attacker boldly seeks contact, it looked perfectly in the repetition. But LL is a lot of LL. Lena is so LL that she reminds HH, her Spanish counterpart.

A pity because shortly before Athenea was able to tie. While DAZN talked about Barcelona, Mundo Deportivo and Lieke Martens, our attacker crashed into the wood.

Toril tried to retouch after the 2-0, taking talent to the ground, changing the midfield. And when it least seemed that the goal could come, Zornoza put it in the tights. Claudia got us into the game. Athenea almost touched the tie a minute later. PSG stopped the game, as an experienced team has to do. Time was upon us.

We have to believe more that we are there, one step away. Important victories are going to drop very soon, as soon as we believe it. And as soon as we understand that we are Madrid, that club that UEFA wants to carve. Olga was not clever in front of a referee who only needed to remove the confetti when calling the penalty. That same maximum penalty that she did not see in the final minutes in Nahikari's actions or a shirt grabbed from Athenea, who could barely finish the game.

We are there. Believe in it. The era of Real Madrid Femenino is upon us.
