Barça and Virginia Torrecilla, ‘Super champions’

The FC Barcelona won this Sunday Spanish Super Cup 2022 after rolling by a resounding 7-0 at Atletico Madrid, in a final where he had to share his leading role for the title with Virginia Torrecilla, finally back on the pitch after overcoming cancer.

Torrecilla, an Atlético de Madrid women’s soccer player, said after almost two years of absence due to a tumor that it had been “incredible” and made “her hair stand on end”.

“It was all a surprise. When I went out to warm up and people started applauding It gave me goosebumps, it’s been amazing. The people of Barcelona also wanted him to leave. This is very special, when they gave me the bracelet I did not expect it. My team, my family have given everything for me at all times… for me it’s a privilege”, he said after the final of the Spanish Super Cup.
