Carmeñ's pov:

It was media dayyyy. I only had 2 interviews then photoshoots. But I can't lie I loved photo shoots. I thought that were fun and the people were always really nice.

First we had our team photo. Me and Alex arrived a bit later than usual because we had managed to get lost. I'm my defence I don't normally go to the Estadi Johan Cruyff. And I don't normally drive Lex does. I seem to always get lost no matter where I am.

Anyway we finally made it. We got out of the car with all our stuff and when inside. Lex was off her crutches and I think she was doing better. As we walked in there was a few cameras filming us but we just continued chatting.

We all changed into our kit after giving our boots and shin pads to the kit man. It was pretty cold out so I put the blue Barça training top over my kit and the big blue coat. I hated the cold. We went back outside and greeted all the presidents of the club ect.

After chatting to a few of the girls for a bit we had to leave all the coats and stuff inside and just wear the kit. I was walking in between Lex and Mapi all 3 of us trying to keep each other warm. We followed the rest of the team outside everyone laughing and chatting with each other. It reminded me how much I loved this team. We really were all one bit family and I loved them all.

I sat in between Parti and Kiera on the front bench.
'ay dios mío it's too cold' I said so the both of them could understand. (Oh my god) Patri was talking to Lex so I chatted to Kiera and she hugged my sideways trying to keep each other warm. To be honest I might have been overreacting just a tad bit I really didn't like the cold.
'How on earth did you live in Manchester!' I rambled to Kiera.
'I mean I was cold in London and Manchester is colder' I continued. The photographer shushed us and moved everyone around a bit. We all put our hand on our knees and smiled.

A few were taken and then all the staff and stuff went away so we could have just a team one. I layed my legs on top of Pina and Marta and had my body on Jana and my head on Lex's lap. Everyone relaxed a bit and put their arms round each other we did a few like that before we were allowed to go back inside.

All the media stuff was here so we didn't have to go back to the training centre. I was booking in for a shoot so I went into the room. I did a few in home kit and a few in the away and 3rd kit.

After all of that I had and interview with Pina, Jana and Bruna. We were doing this beat the clock thing and we were having a laugh. We did the interview in Catalan and it was nice to speak the language I had grown up speaking in an interview. I was something I handy down before.
/'things related with the champions league. It could be anything'/
/'ball'/ Jana said
/'goal'/ Bruna said
/'errr the ball-'/ I started and Bruna burst out laughing.
/'oh no sorry sorry errr boots'/ I said Bruna and Pina still laughing at me.
/'seats '/ Pina said
/'shirt'/ Jana said
/'stadium'/ Bruna said.
/'No! That's the same as seats!'/ Pina shot up making me Jana and Bruna laugh again.
/'no it's fine'/ the women said and Pina sat down again.
/'fans'/ I said
/'shorts'/Pina said
/'anthem'/ Jana said
/'football pitch'/ Bruna said
/'socks?'/ I said making the other 3 laugh.
/'match'/ Pina said.
/'Camp Nou'/ Jana said.
/'opposition'/ Bruna said shrugging.
/'group stages'/ I said quite proud of my self.
/'final'/ Pina said.
Jana looked lost.
/'referee!'/ she said.
/'semi final'/ Bruna said and we all laughed.
/'quarter final'/ I said sending us all into hysterics again.
/'Too late! Too late!'/ Pina said still laughing at me.
/'Too late'/ the woman agreed.
/'quarter final what are you like'/ Jana said laughing and rolling her eyes at me while the rest of us kept laughing.

When we got home Lex was telling me about how Amazon prime asked to do a documentary with her. She told me how her management wanted her to do it as well. I encourage her to do it an she called her manager to say she would.

A couple of days later, the nominees for the Ballon d'Or came out. From our team that was. Lex, Tana, Frido, Oshoala, Lucy and me. I did not expect for 1 minutes that my name would be up there but somehow, at 21 years old, I was nominated for the ballon d'Or.

Just A few weeks later I was thriving now I was back home. The preseason went amazingly and I was so happy to be back with my family. We had the presentation of the Gamper trophy. We were each going out individually.

I linked arms with Lex and we both walked out, me with my hair pulled into a high ponytail and her with her hair down. We were both in full kit and we waved to the fans in the stands until we got to the rest of the team.

I had a bit of a writers block so this is mostly rambling. But the interview thing is meant to be the same as the one at the start just with Carmeñ in it so I recommend watching the video if you are a bit confused. Ty for reading xx
