Before learning that Tenerife would be Atlético Femenino’s opponent in the Copa de la Reina, Fiamma analyzed the draw. She said they were «super excited. It’s very difficult to reach the semifinals and we’re very happy«. She also discussed her goal against Athletic, and added: «In the end, it’s the work of the whole team.

She recalled what she felt after winning the Copa de la Reina final in 2016: «How hard it is… We were very happy, it was our first title with Atlético de Madrid. The first one is very special and what it means. It’s a dream for any team, because anyone can win it. It was a very emotional moment, as was the second Copa. And I hope we’re close to the third one«.
