Aitana Bonmati took advantage of an advertising event with YoPro, a brand linked to Danone of which she is the image, to review the most current issues around her figure and Barcelona: the Champions League, the team’s objectives, its renewal, its absence from the lists for the best player on the planet …

Barcelona will meet the Champions League quarter-final rival on Monday -as well as the rest of the way to the final-, a team that will come out of the shortlist Juventus, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. “The rival that motivates me the most in the face of Monday’s draw is Real Madrid because of the rivalry that exists and because there has never been this clash in the Champions League,” said Bonmatí, who Despite the numbers, they rule out proclaiming themselves favorites to revalidate the continental title. “To say that we are favorites in the Champions League is very risky because we still have no rival for the quarterfinals, and when we still have one that sounds very cliché we will go step by step. There are very powerful teams for these qualifying rounds and we have already seen that everything is even, even Chelsea has been left out, “he said.

Decide your future in no time

The one from San Pedro de Ribas ends its contract with Barcelona on June 30, 2022 and, although it has received offers from such powerful teams as Olympique Lyonnais, Chelsea or Bayern Munich, everything indicates that it will continue to be linked to the Barça team.. “I am very excited that some European teams have noticed me, that is that I am doing things well and that the work is paying off. It is also true that what I want is to be happy and here I am very happy. A few days I will make the decision about my future, until then I only focus on trying to help the team by giving my best, “he said.

Aitana was one of the great absences in the nominations for the UEFA Best Player Award and the Ballon d’Ordespite the fact that in her day she was elected MVP of the Champions League final. “I am not obsessed with individual awards, it is something that does not depend on me and that if it has to arrive it will arrive but now what I try is to improve every day and I have always said that my ambition has no ceiling so I want to continue in this line ascending, “he summarized.

Overcome a historic ‘triplet’

Barcelona’s numbers make one question whether there is any team that can even face him. After the historical triplet last year, Barcelona’s challenge this season is, at least, to match what has been achieved. “The objective is to repeat what we did last year but we are aware of the difficulty that this implies so we are working hard to be able to give joy to the fans,” he said.

The physical change of Aitana in recent years responds to meticulous work in all its facets: in football, in tactics, in physical, in rest, in nutrition … and that is where he enters the scene Mireia Porta, nutritionist of the club, and YoPro, brand of which Bonmatí is the image. “Mireia always wanted us to know how to eat.” This being more important than eating according to what products or following a strict diet. She always told me that in all my meals they had to have a food with protein and the reason was to regenerate my muscles, “explained the Barça midfielder, who shelled an example of a daily diet: “I usually have an oatmeal porridge with fresh fruit and a half YoPro shake, or a turkey and avocado sandwich with fresh orange juice.”
