A Rocky Start for Barcelona

The match began with a surprising twist as Madrid CFF scored first. Allegra Poljak found the net in the 15th minute, giving Madrid a 1-0 lead that they held going into halftime. This was a noteworthy moment, considering Madrid was the last team to beat Barcelona in the league back in May 2023, instilling hope for an upset.

However, Barcelona, under the guidance of new coach Pere Romeu, reminded everyone of their formidable prowess. The alertness and intensity shown in the second half were nothing short of extraordinary, as they scored a stunning eight goals, effectively extinguishing any lingering doubts about the game’s outcome.

Keira Walsh Shines Bright

Leading the charge was England international Keira Walsh, who found herself on the score sheet twice. Her equalizer, followed by a thunderous effort for her second, marked her first brace in Barcelona colors since she joined the club from Manchester City in 2022. Walsh’s versatility and teamwork played a crucial role in the resurgence of Barcelona’s attacking play in the second half.

A Team Effort

Alongside Walsh, Ewa Pajor continued her stunning form, netting once more to increase her tally to six goals in five appearances since transferring from VfL Wolfsburg this summer. Other goals came from Vicky López, Alexia Putellas, Ingrid Syrstad Engen, Ona Batlle, and Jana Fernández, showcasing the multidimensional attacking threat of Barcelona Femení.

Notably, Alexia Putellas’ goal marked her 194th for the club, placing her in the league of legends alongside Ladislao Kubala, who remains one of the top scorers across both the men’s and women’s teams. Only Lionel Messi, César Rodríguez, and Luis Suárez have scored more than the two-time Ballon d’Or winner, a testament to her impact and legacy at the club.

A Look Ahead

As Barcelona Femení savor their resounding victory, the team now shifts its focus to the UEFA Women’s Champions League. Their next test awaits against Manchester City on Wednesday, with fans eagerly anticipating how this stellar squad will perform on the continental stage.
