00:00There was an important game this week.
00:02Probably the most important women's game at the club level of the whole season.
00:08Champions League.
00:09Absolutely.
00:10Tell us about it.
00:10This was such an exciting match.
00:12Very anticipated, but I'm going to let Alex take this one
00:15because I know he's very excited to talk about his favorite team.
00:18Barcelona, of course they won this game because they're the best team in women's soccer.
00:23I'm going to say it right now.
00:24This is a team that they've shown that they keep this structure
00:29throughout the season, winning every game by multiple goals,
00:33and it's just a landslide.
00:35But they beat León by 4-0 with two goals from Pajor, if I'm not mistaken,
00:42and this is a revolutionary game because we are seeing
00:45la famosa putellas, you know, hang up the boots in La Liga.
00:51But who knows?
00:53She did hint a little bit to a move to MLS, Liga Mekis.
00:56She said it's going to be around here somewhere.
00:58There you go.
00:59Absolutely.
01:00So, Camila, what was the critical moments of this game?
01:03I mean, I think we have to talk about the consistency that Barcelona has had.
01:07They've won four out of the last six Champions League,
01:10and I think they really came back with a special momentum this year
01:13after getting kicked out last year by Arsenal.
01:15So I think they just really showed consistency,
01:17and that's what got them this far.
01:19Now, they had some crazy results this season,
01:21like beating Real Madrid for multiple dozens of goals,
01:25which was scandalous if you think about it.
01:28But let's go big picture.
01:31What does it mean that we are looking at Champions League
01:35with record viewership on the women's side?
01:39We have Liga Mekis becoming the most watched league in the world.
01:42We have NWSL having some of the most valuable franchises in the world.
01:47What do you expect in the next 12 months
01:49as we head into the Brazil World Cup next summer?
01:53Well, I'm expecting much more excitement about the women's game.
01:56I mean, if we look back just a year ago, five years ago,
01:59all these leagues have grown exponentially.
02:02It's been so exciting to see.
02:03Even here in the U.S., we see the U.S.
02:05women's national team outselling the men in jerseys,
02:09meaning that the women, they have the support of their fans at home,
02:12which is going to show up when it comes to the World Cup.
02:14And for a quick preview of what the World Cup will come,
02:16this weekend, the U.S. national women's team
02:19is going to play two games versus Brazil.
02:23Just a little sample of what is expecting us the next summer.
02:27I know we're all crazy this summer for the men's World Cup,
02:29but in 12 months, we'll see the best players in the world
02:32Battle It Out, en la cuna del fútbol Brasil, my friends.
