spoke to the media in the press room at the Stadion Am Sportpark in Unterhaching (Munich) on the day prior to the match against Bayern Munich, corresponding to the third matchday of the Women's Champions League (Wednesday, 6:45 pm CET; Disney+). Our coach analyzed the match: "It will be exciting. It’s the first time we face each other in history, and it will be very appealing to watch. Bayern has a very defined DNA, and we have common traits. We are very happy with how we are arriving. The comeback the other day gives you a mental boost, and the eleven players who start will certainly be well-prepared.”

The Champions League schedule
“The goal is to win, as taking the three points is very important. The demands will be very high. We know that there will still be more matches after this, but in this Champions League, there’s no point in thinking about what you’ve already achieved—we take it match by match.”

Three German players in Real Madrid
“We have three German players in the squad, and they each have a different role on the field, but they bring us a lot of balance and stability, both in terms of football and mentally. They always want to learn, every day, and I’m very fortunate to have the three of them. They have a very high technical level and help us a lot.”

Elisa: “The team is on a very positive path”
“I know many of the Bayern players and also from the national team; I know their qualities and what roles they can have. It’s going to be a very physical game because they can also play intelligently. I think it will entertain everyone, and I’m happy about that.”

Differences between German and Spanish football
“I think football in Spain is more tactical; those are the differences I’ve seen the most. In Germany, there is more space, and you can create more space; those are my first impressions. The team is on a very good path, and we continue evolving positively.”
