Everyone was surprised by the different appearance of Barcelona player Alexia Potillas in the Spain camp, less than 20 days before the start of the Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Botias appeared with pink hair, days after the first friendly for La Roja, which was held last Thursday against Panama, and witnessed its victory by seven to none.
And Irini Paredes, her colleague in the national team and the Barcelona team, revealed the reason behind Alexia’s change in her appearance and hair color.
Paredes said in an interview with the “Relivo” platform about this: “Alexia did this as a promise after winning the Champions League. She is going through a difficult period because of the media pressure, it is difficult to regain your level after a long injury.”
Alexia Potillas only played 180 minutes last season due to her cruciate ligament injury at the UEFA Women’s Championship.
“Everything takes time, everyone has to leave her alone. She is starting to recover and I hope she will be at her best in the World Cup because she is a player who makes a difference.”
The 29-year-old Botias combined the Golden Ball and the Best “The Best” awards from FIFA twice in a row, in 2021 and 2022, and she also won the European Champions League twice, in 2021 and 2023.
Spain is preparing to participate in the Women’s World Cup for the third time in its history in Group C, next to Costa Rica, Japan and Zambia.
