"They are superstars in Norway now, kids wear their jerseys ... and they have also been voices for equality and strong ambassadors," Klaveness told Reuters in a telephone interview as she waited to board her plane to Bilbao."They will be the more disciplined, tactical side and Barcelona will be more unpredictable and want to have players available for passes all over the field," Klaveness said.

A qualified lawyer, Klaveness said she welcomed the advent of big clubs fielding women's teams, but pointed to those sides often having a fraction of the budgets available to their male counterparts as an area for improvement.
