Aitana Bonmatí returned to the starting line in the Champions League after a long absence and celebrated her first start since the injury with enthusiasm. The FCBarcelona midfielder, who had been out of action for five months due to a fracture of his left fibula, was satisfied for having regained his “feelings” and for having contributed to the 0-8 victory over Köge, where the Barça team consolidated itself as the undisputed leader of the competition.
On October 28, Barça won with the same number in the Danish city's stadium, but the victory was based on the performance of the triple Ballon d'Or winner, who totaled 63 minutes of play. Aitana did not score, but was active in the midfield, assisting Esmee Brugts for the three-goal. He commented that the stadium's artificial surface was more comfortable than other natural grass surfaces, which helped him feel good during the game.
At the press conference, the player praised the team's collective attitude, highlighting that seven of the seven different scorers in the match (Claudia Pina, Caroline Graham, Ewa Pajor, Esmee Brugts, Patri Guijarro, Clara Serrajordi and Kika Nazareth) had scored. Aitana stated that “this team is unstoppable” and that its main objective is to regain confidence and the feeling of playing, not necessarily to score goals.
Aitana also took the opportunity to congratulate the Ballon d'Or winners at their gala, although she was not among the 30 candidates due to her prolonged absence. The triple winner of the award, who has been the best in the world in 2023, 2024 and 2025, recognized the collective work of Barça and expressed that “they deserve it” to all the winners, highlighting the presence of several from the club on the list.
With his sights set on the next match against Arsenal on November 12, Aitana showed confidence in the team's performance. He commented that he does not feel “fear” of the rival, but that each match is a different challenge and that the objective will be to achieve a good result and attract the largest number of fans to the CampNou.
