Lieke Martens also shines in the cup final and takes the treble with Barcelona | Football

sport">In that final there was again a leading role for Martens. Although the 28-year-old did not score, he shone by already taking three assists before the break. First to Patricia Guijarro, then to Alexia Putellas and then she assisted Marta Torrejon. After the break it became tense for the unthreatened national champion. Levante came back to 3-2, but a second goal by Putellas ended the game. Barcelona is the fifth team to win the treble in international women’s football.

sport">Sarina Wiegman seems to be able to count on a Martens in top form in Tokyo next summer.

sport">“I watched with pride. I can really shed a tear in those moments. After the European Championship win in 2017, a lot has changed for a number of players, including Lieke,” said the national coach, who also grew into a celebrity himself and suddenly came under a magnifying glass.

sport">“Last year, corona got over it and players abroad had to miss their loved ones for a long time. Lieke also suffered from this. When you see her play such a match, it’s so beautiful, because I know how much she has to do and not do it.”
