PSG: our touchstone

Touchstone, it is said of that which allows to calibrate the precise value of a thing. This is how the RAE defines it, to refer to the stone used to know how much purity a material has, usually gold or silver. We had a golden match against PSG. Probably the most complete, due to its clean sheet, of the Real Madrid FEM's great games since the section was created.

PSG was a huge rival, one of the most powerful in Europe. In ancient times "the stone was scratched with pieces of various gold and copper alloys and the color of the scratch depended on the amount of gold it had." That's what Di Stefano's match was about, fighting against Martens, Karchoui, Bachmann... scratching, fighting, seeing our solidity. And we have it. Thanks to Toril, and to those who have bet on the team's physical leap. The coach put in the most powerful players, not the most precious... and it didn't go wrong. Real held on behind and were able to resolve forward, with clear or very clear chances for Toletti or Zornoza. We did not see the best Athenea, nor the best Olga, but Svava did leave good feelings, in her minutes, or the small Oroz in the little time she played, already with the game being able to opt in our favor. Special mention for Freja Siri, always in doubt and discussed, but who came for games like this, not to play against Eibar at the Di.

Today's minutes, or against City, or away from home in Europe... are proving Toril right. In fact, Real finished with good battery, it seemed that more than PSG, which denotes good physical preparation. Surely we were close to our best version.

In the outstanding section: Misa, an insurance and a hammer for her companions, all the match giving instructions. That could be perfectly heard in the English broadcast of DAZN, where they highlighted the growth of Real Madrid FEM and the ambition to one day fight for the continental crown.

With matches like this, that is closer. And it is also thanks to our Scot, Caroline, born to play in this club. She gives us an imposing hierarchy. We want more. https://twitter.com/realmadridfem/status/1585344258986414080
