The departure of Mariona Caldentey was a blow for Women's Barça. With her innate talent and her ability to make a difference on the field, the Balearic player was a key piece in team success. Her departure left a void difficult to fill. However, the club has taken charge of reinforcing the squad. New players, such as the Polish forward Ewa Pajor, are making up for her absence.
Mariona, despite no longer being at Barça, has left an indelible mark. Not only for her skills, but also her professionalism and her ability to overcome the challenges that soccer presented to her. She will always be a little piece of the club that saw her grow up.
Mariona's Success at Arsenal
Despite the sadness that her departure may have caused, Mariona is very comfortable in her new stage at Arsenal. In the Women's Premier League, the footballer has found a new challenge that has driven her to continue shining. Her adaptation to the English club has been quick and her performance on the field is proof that she is still an elite player.
Arsenal has been the perfect place for Mariona. It is a team with big ambitions that has allowed her to continue growing both in sporting and personal terms. Her success in England has confirmed that her talent transcends borders and her career continues to rise.
Her New Book: Reflection on Her Struggle
Recently, Mariona has released her book entitled Cómo hemos cambiado la historia ("How we have changed history"). She narrates in first person everything she has had to overcome throughout her career. In this work, with Laia Coll and a prologue by Andrés Iniesta, Mariona narrates the challenges and barriers she overcame to become a soccer star.
This book is not only a testimony of her career, but also an inspiration for other girls who want to follow in her footsteps. Like Aitana Bonmatí in Unidas somos más fuertes ("Together We are Stronger"), Mariona joins the footballers who share their story and personal overcoming.
A Reference for Future Generations
The stories of Mariona and Aitana are crucial to the evolution of women's soccer. Through their books, these players share their experience in Women's Barça's, their evolution and how they have broken barriers in a historically male-dominated sport.
They are an example and a reference for many girls who dream of making history in soccer.
