Always and Forever

twenty nine

Time skip to the last game of the season

It's been months. Me and Patri are so, so close. I really like her. For months, i stoped myself from admitting that because she wasn't Leah but now i'll admit it because that's okay. She's not Leah she's Patri and Patri is amazing. We aren't together officially. Hell, we haven't even kissed but we have been on a few dates over the last few months.

Today, is the biggest day of our season. The biggest day of my career. This season we have won the double. We won the league and the cup but today is the biggest of the lot.

The champions league final.

Barcelona vs Chelsea. I'm nervous. Of course i am but i want this and i'll fight for it.

We arrived at the stadium. We checked out the pitch, got changed then went out for warm ups. I'm starting up front today with Alexia behind me. This season, my numbers are insane.

I've played over fifty games for Barcelona this season and i've score 31 goals and got 16 assists. Not bad numbers. Alexia, the queen won the ballon D'or and UEFA women's player of the year again. Which is well deserved. Me and Alexia were joined in votes for Barcelona player of the year so we both won it. What a first season this has been for me. But today is what it all comes down to. Today is what matters.

After a good warmup everyone headed back into the changing room. Our manager gave us a speech before Alexia gave us some words of encouragement. We lined up and before i knew it, the game had begun.

Champions League final. Wow.

The game started the best way it could have for us.

"Here comes Martens early doors with Graham Hansen making her way into the box. Martens cuts inside, Hansen makes the run but Martens pulls it back to Roberts. It's Roberts... And it's in!! With just over thirty seconds gone. What a start this is for Barcelona!"

I scored in the Champions League final. I ran towards Leila and we jumped at each other. Alexia, Jenni and Patri then jumped at us before Lieke, Mapi and Graham joined in. Then, the whole team was jumping around me with joy. They all hugged me and i was smiling so brightly. Winning this trophy would be one thing, scoring in the final is another. What. A. Feeling.

In the 12th minute Jenni went down in the box which won us a penalty. As soon as the ref pointed to the spot Alexia grabbed the ball. Alexia was taking it. She put the ball down and got ready. I stood at the edge of the box. I had full confidence in Alexia. It's Alexia. You don't want her shooting for anywhere let alone twelve yards.

"Alexia Putellas for Barcelona to make it two-nil. Which she does, calmly and confidently. Such a composed penalty"

Alexia scored. She ran to the side and pulled at the Barcelona badge on her shirt. I jumped on her back and Jenni jumped at her as well. The rest of the team sprinted over and just like my goal, everyone was ecstatic but everyone knew it wasn't over. It's not over until the final whistle is blown. We know that.

"Alexia Putellas. I love you"
I said as we were walking back to our half.

"Sophie Roberts, you're a star. I love you"
I smiled before jogging away.

2-0 in the 12th minute. Not bad at all.

It got even better in the 19th minute.

Lieke once again ran down the left wing. She crossed it into Jenni who passed it back to Alexia. Alexia played an inch-perfect ball which cut right through the heart of Chelsea's defence. The ball landed perfectly at my feet and i was able to stroke it away. Two goals in the Champions League final. Wow.
