Magdalena Eriksson interviewed in "Pernille Harder & Magdalena Eriksson: Chelsea's football power couple", BBC Sport (November 14, 2020) I think that’s when I felt the demand for role models in that way, because of how big it was and how many people wrote to me on Instagram saying they looked up to us and how much we’d helped them.
