– In a way, she is unique in women’s football, considering the skills she has. Even if you see wing players who are technically good and elegant, “Caro” has the skills to change a game on his own. That’s what Lucy Bronze, Barcelona’s right-back, says to news during a digital press conference. As a right-back, he works closely with Graham Hansen along Barcelona’s right side. – You can give her the ball, and I play behind her, and say: “Come on, Caro, score a goal for us”. PERLE: Graham Hansen scored the only goal as Barcelona beat Chelsea 1-0 in London.

She has scored in all six matches and in total there have been seven goals and four assists in the aforementioned matches. In the semi-finals of the Champions League against Chelsea, he scored both of Barcelona’s goals, one in London and one in Barcelona, as Barcelona eventually won 2–1 on aggregate. – Caroline is a player with a big x-factor on our team. She last showed it in the semi-finals of the Meisterliga. She scores goals and helps with all our skills offensively. She is super important to us, says Barcelona’s Norwegian midfielder, Ingrid Syrstad Engen. – I probably know more than Ingrid and the other girls on the team, because I have to play against her in training, also considering how difficult it is to defend against her. She can go both ways and the quality she has is different, says Bronze, and continues: – Personally, I think she is the best winger in the world offensively. So I am very happy that she is on our team, and not the other way around. ROUTINE: Lucy Bronze has played with a number of big stars. But playing with Caroline Graham Hansen is something quite special. Here she tries to stop another Norwegian player, Roma’s Emilie Haavi.

The 31-year-old is clear that he and Graham Hansen complement each other well. – I can be part of the attack myself, but I let it be a bit up to “Caro”, because I can’t do anything better than what she can do in terms of crosses and shots. I leave it up to her and make sure I win the ball back. I can cover a bit more of her defensive work, so that she is ready when we attack, she says. – Our relationship is probably a little different from what I have had with other wing players, but as soon as I played with her, I realized what her great strengths were and what her weaknesses were. I just try to complement it as best as possible, to get the best out of her, says Bronze. Big favorites against Wolfsburg news’s football expert, Carl-Erik Torp, agrees with Bronze that Graham Hansen is the best offensive winger in the world. – Caroline Graham Hansen is extreme in her position. She is extremely fast and has tremendous technique. She is a facilitator, but as long as she gets to play on the wing, where she can move in from the right and into the pitch, set up combinations and hit crosses – then she is one of the best footballers in the world, says Torp. In the final on Saturday, it is Wolfsburg who await Barcelona. Both Graham Hansen and Syrstad Engen have previously played for the German club, which finished second in the German Bundesliga this season, narrowly beaten by Bayern Munich. ON THE THIRD IT WILL HAPPEN? Ingrid Syrstad Engen played the entire match when Wolfsburg lost the final in the Champions League in 2020. She was an unused reserve when Barcelona lost last year, but now has the chance to win the Champions League for the first time – something Graham Hansen did in 2021. Photo: ALVARO BARRIENTOS / AFP Barcelona, on the other hand, have been absolutely superb in the Spanish series, although they lost the last series match against Madrid CFF – their first loss in the Spanish league in almost two years. Then there were still several of the key players who were rested for the final on Saturday, where the team can win the Champions League for the second time and get revenge after the final loss against Lyon last year. – Barcelona are big favourites. They have flown through the secret league and in the Champions League they have simply swept one after the other off the field, says Torp.
