calming leap, i would have to give them a clear victory up and says, and feels excellent, responsibility to represent ukrainian culture at a time when russia is trying to destroy it. russia has been kept out of this year's competition. that's our time state, you know, for sports life will be back at the top of the our with with

with oh fool stadium might have sat verses around champions, league, nothing out of the ordinary. you say think twice. this is a bunch of stuff in e, gang f, c, barcelona, as women's team. it was only a bit more than

a decade ago. but if the feminine were training at whatever a pitch was available, and usually at ridiculous hours of debate, not anymore now they dominate in. thank you. i think to think about dealership that we have set you up in europe. they want the 2021 champions league kids. it's special. it's exciting. and broke the world record for attendant to the women's game. in march 2022, 20. i saw a summer yourself for just a few years back. nobody seemed to care much about them. at the time the team and the league were nowhere near professionals stuck in amateur mode and usually don't have cancer side. what's happened here? but stephanie have only been a professional site since 2015 barcelona man team in the mean time seemed to have forgotten what made the club great?

the club claims. this is about more than empowerment, but what exactly is it then? i came here to spain to find out why a lot of stuff. i mean, he has become such a power health in such a short amount of time. that's a good question. i want to know the answer as well. well barcelona spain, 2nd largest city, isn't exactly a stranger to football, right? one of the local teams. fc barcelona, or one of the most famous clubs in the world at stadium comp no holds up to a 100000 people. europe's biggest football temple with at the club museum. it's trophies galore. and you can hardly count how many stars have played here. including jesus. the women's team saga began in the seventy's. some pioneers got together though

back then it was just a hobby. deborah bard from officially joining f c bar salon, as was the case for most women players around the world, the football establishment rejected them. they had to accept being treated like total amateur. check out this referee society just wasn't ready even less so in the spain of the late seventy's says the man who wrote this book on by the self him any more than most can espanol any am or the liable guy that i think delruda yagi are almost to throw those, so if you're lucky going, we my chiefs there, we, me sophie knock and in the younger football it as well. i'm in the godaddy on british things only slowly started to change in the ninety's and it took until 2002 to make the women's side an official part of the club. was that the shiny beginning of what we see today, like a logical development over the last 20 years? not at all. i do know that by the gum or from bobo and b one indicates the doors,

meal dos, a lot, wilkin fare l globe, damaged a. we're not submit either from a party, they will open valona baron up within the nazi and let me ask on the funeral. kolowski course didn't kids who knows that in was one if you palace e and gandhi fiona's was under the, brought out is gone part the, an o'campo gandhi versus dc. please not gonna let us go whether there will be like other mega clubs, but a sub or not really interested in women's football. and the 20 tenths they decided to get serious about it. with some immediate results. taking the women's game more serious, reflected a trend among big names in for pop, man city, by an or p g. made similar choices in 2012 but 71 there. firstly took and at the same in 201320142015. when they turned professional, samara hunter is a u. s. borne football journalist who lives and works in space for a long time,

she focused on the legal male players, cross iraqi, teach, or attached ink. in recent years though, she witnessed how fc barcelona bought into the idea of a serious to women's t. they've built a really solid project with a great foundation. they've looked at the blueprint from the men side. they copied and pasted the dna of the club from the men's team to the women side. but assess dna were shaped by iconic figures like your crime. and what the, all the 3 piece possession, fresher and position. a system that essentially a ration of opponents into despair. the women's team are doing the same powerful, dominant and leading the way. and this at a time and the men's team seem to have lost their way. ok, 2015. they won the champions league, but since then they've lost touch with the club, dna and identity leading to some embarrassing results.

while fc barcelona women's team flourished? they reached their 1st champions league semi final in 2017. so that bought a stuff. i mean, it shows like many offered periods to use the financial power of its parent club to accelerate growth. we only have done it. chelsea has done it. man city has an engine core, but they have done it to i think we all know the situation that the club find itself in now financially, which is to say that they're up to here in debt, over a 1000000000 euros. they need to pay back from money that they've taken out and known, for example. so i don't think it's all about the money. i think that they really have looked inward and said, let's grow players. let's develop players better stuff in the sporting directors, dresses. they were in keen on buying a superstar on some of them when we're starting to 1015, the project was not to invest

a lot of money to do the best savings in the world. we want to need to develop the players to try to do a project of that. we feel proud those are glad to try to investing in by using the cut me. what did the following players have in common? and yet, jerry became correct. they all were trained as marcia were just bought a football academy. oh, sorry i forgot macy of course. i'm just as much a part of f t bar slowness, d n a. as the 3 p mentioned earlier, the youth academy has always been such a fundamental pillar for this club historically anyway. and i think now that they can do that on the women side of things to really is just what they're all about compared to maybe other clauses. still women have only been fully admitted in the residency since 2021. but since their 1st leak titled by suffering, embrace the regional identity fielding,

many home grown players from catalonia to proud and independent minded region. barcelona as part of the 10 years on the 2022 squad has key katelyn players that happened at the club for quite some time. this team became a force to be reckoned with and reached the 2900 champions league final where they were trashed for one by the young, long the dominant 4th european women's football about feminine time hadn't come yet . but sometimes these are their moments when the big champions are born. chevy on this for the last part on us. what us from face, husky, uncle, mother, eunice, and douglas about the i will talk about it. part of the though, if you don't know who i'm in the, the guy motion did us us, you know, stuff thing equal here. yes, i'll get to you and got set up and he then don't finish it up and then ask him us on this else out of way. little 3 spanish leave. follow 202-021-2252 set them in the one the champions league. in 2021 except that

they as the balloon the all the same a year. all this has created one big buzz in barcelona by the stuff in the near to talk of the town de towards the group that the man last at least until early 2022. and but the feminine now's flashing cash on accomplished players from abroad like suite, from the renewal of food signed in 2021. she feels the vibe as well. i think the main reason is like the interest you, you see the people in the city they're really interested. they are following off. i think it's interest and also the that the team has been so successful and the playing style. it's interesting to watch. okay, let's be real madison. feminine don't always draw 90000. usually they play at a study. are you on crow? if ever attendance 3000 and t v revenues till a far cry from the man's game media brought spain's leading sports management
