‘That’s why I signed for Barcelona’ – Former Man City star sets eye on quadruple season

Barcelona midfielder Keira Walsh has set her sights on winning another quadruple with the Spanish side despite reports linking her with a move back to the WSL.

Walsh played an important role for Barcelona last season as they wrote their name in history book by winning four major titles. Barcelona won the Liga F, Copa de la Reina, Spanish Supercopa, and the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

It was the first time Barcelona have won quadruple in their rich history. Walsh is now eager to win another historical quadruple with the Spanish giant.

Reflecting on her experience, Walsh told the club media, “It was my first quadruple, and I want to do it again this season. That’s why I play for Barcelona. But I think to me, the most important thing is that the way we want to play and the way we want to win, it’s about playing good football at the same time.

“That’s why I signed for this club. I think that the ambition is there for every single one of us to go and win another Champions League. Hopefully, I can make it three [in a row].”

Despite being linked with a move back to England, Walsh is willing to continue in especially under new manager Pere Romeu.

“I’m happy here. I’ve got a good relationship with all of the staff, all of the players. Everyone’s really supportive. For me, it’s a great place to be as a midfielder,” she added.

“I’m always learning, always improving, and I think with the new manager [Pere Romeu], he has a lot of confidence in me and he makes me feel confident when I’m playing. So yeah, for me, I think I’m really happy here and yeah, we’ll just see how the season goes and hopefully we can win more trophies together.”

Barcelona will face Walsh’s former club, Manchester City, in their UEFA Women’s Champions League opener which will mark her first return to Manchester since she left for Spain in 2022.
