Sam Coffey says that City’s 2-2 draw with Barcelona was yet another example of our never-say-die attitude.
The Blues came back from 2-0 down to draw with the European champions at the Joie Stadium in our second pre-season test, having also come from behind to finish level with Fiorentina last week.
Alex Greenwood and Grace Clinton scored the goals which cancelled out first-half strikes from Barcelona duo Caroline Graham Hansen and Vicky Lopez.
CITY V BIRMINGHAM: GET YOUR TICKETS
Coffey, who played 45 minutes of the game as our recovery from injury continued, hailed Andrée Jeglertz’s side’s resilience and mentality, regardless of the competition in question.
“For us to fight back in the way that we did I think is really telling of the fight in this group, even if it is a pre-season match,” Coffey said.
“We will never go down without a fight, and we will always try to find a way to win, and I think that was really exemplified today.
“It was quite a challenge but I’m really proud of the way we responded. I think we played a lot of really good football. I think we learnt a lot about ourselves, especially defensively.
“I think these are the types of games that are perfect for pre-season.
“There are a lot of highlights and things that we feel we did really strongly, but a lot of areas where we still need to grow, and playing against one of the best teams in the world is going to show you that, but I’m still proud of the way we responded to come back and level the match and I think we have a lot of key takeaways from this game.”
