When Barcelona welcome Bayern Munich to the Camp Nou in the Champions League on Thursday night, Keira Walsh will be opposite a familiar face for the first time.
Central to England’s run to the European Championship title in the summer was the midfield trio of Walsh, Georgia Stanway and Fran Kirby. The 25-year-old Walsh and 23-year-old Stanway each left Manchester City last summer, having followed a similar path until then, with Walsh joining Barcelona and Stanway signing for Bayern.
