She played an integral role in Spain's 2-0 victory over Switzerland, showcasing her skill by assisting the first goal. Bonmatí's journey was remarkable, having been hospitalized only weeks prior, yet she still participated in back-to-back matches. She emphasizes her pride in overcoming adversity, focusing on resilience instead of suffering. Her mindset exemplifies a commitment to the team while aiming for a Euros final, viewing challenges as opportunities for growth.
"Three weeks ago I was in a hospital bed and a few days later I came on [in the first] game over here, [then] another match and then back-to-back 90 minutes."
"It was a difficult process because I found myself in hospital unexpectedly. I suffered, obviously, but I had to drag myself out of that negative situation."
"If there is something that characterises me, it is this way of dealing with things; a resilient mentality."
"I think that mentality of never giving up, of not seeing adversity as a problem, but as a possible opportunity to come out stronger...it's good to have those qualities.
