Roma Women: Reaction to UWCL quarter-final draw


The quarter-final draw of the UEFA Women's Champions League produced some exciting ties, as Roma will face off with last year's runners-up, Barcelona. Here's the reaction to this exciting tie.

Here's what the coach Alessandro Spunga had to say about the draw...

"We’ll meet the best side in the world at the moment. They have no weaknesses and possess great quality in all areas."

"They scored 29 goals in the group stage, more than any other team; they’ve already won the UEFA Women’s Champions League and got to the final last year, so they know how to play in this competition. They’ll be very tough opponents to come up against but we must be calm and keep working on the qualities that have seen us through to this point, staying grounded."

The thoughts of Head of Women's Football, Betty Bvagnoli...

"We’re very excited to have made it this far in our UEFA Women’s Champions League debut season. One of the goals we set as a club was to establish a strong international identity for our women’s team and we’ve laid good foundations for that this season, exceeding many of our expectations. With each game, the players and staff were able to gain more maturity on this journey. I really hope that this can be an inspiration for young girls and also for Italian women’s football more generally."

"I invite our fans to come and get behind us because I know how much it would mean for our players to feel their support in a place like the Stadio Olimpico".
