honestly, while i was originally hurt (and still am very sad), my respect for alexia has increased, albeit cautiously.
the amount of strength it takes to admit to yourself that the best possible thing for the growth and future of your club is for you to leave is insane. and to make that decision while still in top form is extremely selfless and introspective. alexia knows her career is almost done, and she wants to leave barca with the image of her at her peak.
now, i saw cautiously because where she goes after may affect this. however, its looking less she’s dipping from barca to jet off straight to michelle kang land, and more like she is actually considering all of her offers and making the best decision for herself and her future.
overall, very admirable, i think. i hope she ends up somewhere she’s happy (preferably nwsl but that’s js bc i want to see her play irl lol) !
