Barcelona player Alexia Putellas emphasized the importance of not resting on past achievements ahead of their Champions League final against Arsenal. Despite their impressive history, she remarked that motivation must stem from future objectives. With Barcelona competing for their third consecutive title, they face a determined Arsenal team making its first final appearance in 18 years. Putellas acknowledged that finals can be unpredictable but feels confident that her team is prepared to excel and is motivated to achieve their goals, including future matches beyond the final.
You have to forget what the team has achieved and what you have done as a player to keep future objectives on track. It can be difficult to find that balance.
We may have won three Champions Leagues, but you don't start tomorrow 1-0 up. You forget what's gone before as the seasons rattle by so quickly.
We will prepare in the best way and give everything to win the trophy. And once the game's done, we have another final [in the Copa de la Reina] ahead of us.
While anything can happen in a final, Barça know they have a good chance of winning at the Estádio José Alvalade if they are at their best.
