Christiane Endler is getting ready to play in a new Champions League final. The Chilean goalkeeper, who has also played for Chelsea, Valencia, and PSG, is a key player for Sonia Bompastor, the coach of Barça's opponent tomorrow in San Mamés. "I joined a little after Sonia and I feel like we have all grown together, learned things together.
Of course, the experience after three years is different in managing the group, especially in the preparation.. I believe everything has progressed very well over these years," he shared in the San Mamés press room.
Tomorrow in Bilbao, there will be a large number of Barça fans, a team that is also looking for redemption from the final two years ago. The Chilean goalkeeper understands that "the motivation of being here and playing in a final again, especially in Spain, is significant for us. We will give our all to win once more.
We know that 80% or more of the crowd will be Barcelona supporters, but we are ready. We already experienced it in Turin, and that will give us extra motivation in this beautiful stadium." Endler admits that "it is a source of pride for me to be here again, to play in a second final.
This is what I came for, to live these amazing experiences of Champions League and League finals. For South American football, it is crucial that we keep working and growing in the sport, and I hope we can reach the European level, which is currently at its peak.".
