The first time I spoke to Carlota Planas on the phone, I thought I heard a baby crying in the background. I didn't say anything. Ten minutes later, however, I couldn't help but ask her if it was a baby I was hearing. She quickly said yes, laughed, and we continued talking about football. Six months later, sitting in front of me, she explained that she renewed Claudia Pina's contract when she was eight months pregnant. Cata Coll's, a month before.

If a fan wants to buy the official jersey of the Barça women's goalkeeper, Cata Coll, they won't find it. It doesn't exist in the club shop or on the club's website. Barça, a global benchmark in women's football, fills stadiums and racks up titles, but doesn't sell its goalkeeper's jersey. Even the club's own employees in the official stores are surprised: "We don't have it, I'd never really thought about it."
