Victory and no injuries. This would be the summary of Barça's triumph at Tenerife's ground (1-3). Esmee Brugts, Kika Nazareth, and Claudia Pina overturned Gramaglia's initial goal on the day Patri Guijarro, Alexia Putellas, and Aitana Bonmatí returned to the starting lineup. A subdued match from Pere Romeu's team, but one that served to add three more points to an already won and celebrated League. Tenerife were reduced to ten players by the half-hour mark, and the blaugranas – always with competitive ambition and the desire to win – did not let them off the hook.

The Johan Cruyff became the celebration point for Barcelona fans. After the tension experienced in the tie – with a happy ending – against Bayern Munich, the blaugranas were able to celebrate the League – and qualification for the Oslo final – with their people. It was a weekday afternoon and getting to the Johan with family from Barcelona was not a simple task. Whatever the case, Pere Romeu's team did not have to make great efforts to overcome a Levante (5-0) that certified their relegation to Primera Federación (second division).

Mapi León has decided not to accept Barça's reduced renewal offer and will bring an end to nine years of blaugrana on June 30, according to Rut Vilar in the Catalunya Ràdio podcast Fem Futbol and has been confirmed by this newspaper. The Aragonese center-back – an important piece in Pere Romeu's system – has already communicated the decision to the sports management led by Marc Vivés. Furthermore, according to the newspaper Sport, the footballer will go free to London City of magnate Michele Kang, who also wants to seduce Alexia Putellas. The English team already snatched Jana Fernández and Lucía Corrales from Barça – then paying a transfer fee – last summer.

Barça will play in another Champions League final again – the seventh in its history, the sixth consecutive one–. The Camp Nou filled up again with more than 60,000 people and Pere Romeu's team beat Bayern Munich (4-2) for the second time this season. The day after this historic feat, however, the spotlight has turned to Alexia Putellas. The player left the field emotional and rumors about the possibility of it being her last match at the Camp Nou have spread quickly. According to sources consulted by ARA, the explanation is that the tears were of relief after a week of great nervousness about what was at stake, nothing less than another European final. Winning the Champions League is always the team's priority objective. The captain has not yet decided her future, but she has always expressed her desire to continue if she considers herself to be at the highest level, they explain to this newspaper.

The dream of Oslo is now a reality. On May 23, Barça will play in a Champions League final again – the sixth consecutive, the seventh in the last eight years – after beating Bayern Munich at Camp Nou. Pere Romeu's team has shown that they also know how to compete bravely against great rivals and overcome adverse scenarios, which they are not accustomed to throughout the season. Goals from Salma Paralluelo, Ewa Pajor, and Alexia Putellas – with a brace – allow Barça to dream of their fourth Champions League (4-2). In the Oslo final, they will face Olympique Lyon, featuring former blaugranas Jonatan Giráldez and Ingrid Engen.

Barça will seek this Sunday against Bayern at the Camp Nou (16:30 h) their seventh Champions League final in the last eight years. A Blaugrana hegemony that began in January 2019 with the arrival of Lluís Cortés (Balaguer, 1986) to the Catalan bench. “I was arriving in Balaguer after more than an hour's drive from Barcelona when Markel Zubizarreta [then sporting director] called me, saying he wanted to speak with me urgently. I turned around and there he proposed if I was ready to take on the challenge of taking over the team. The first thing I did was speak with Fran Sánchez [the coach at the time, Cortés was the assistant], who told me to take it. I am very grateful to him”, recalls the current coach of the Saudi Arabian women's national team from Riyadh.

"Yes, we'll do the whole interview in Catalan. Of course," says Kika Nazareth (Lisbon, 2002), boldly. The Portuguese footballer doesn't lose energy or her contagious smile despite having participated in numerous events and interviews before a key match for Barça. On Sunday (4:30 PM, TV3), the azulgranas will play the second leg of the Champions semifinals against Bayern. She will play at the Camp Nou for the second time in her career and in her second season in Barcelona, a city she has fallen in love with, as well as Catalan culture and its language: "I play and live in Catalonia. I wanted to learn Catalan out of respect."

"There is no intent. Salma has very long hair, there might be a desire to stretch the shirt on Kett's part, but when the hair is long, you can stretch it a bit unintentionally. The red card is too much," said José Barcala, coach of Bayern Munich, after the match. Barça drew one all at the Allianz Arena and will play for the Champions League final next Sunday (4:30 p.m.) at Camp Nou.

Barça draws at Bayern Munich (1-1) and will have to win next Sunday (4:30 PM) at Camp Nou to be in the Champions League final in Oslo. The blaugranes took an early lead with a goal from Ewa Pajor in an imposing setting like the Allianz Arena —which acted as the 12th player—, but saw Kett —who was sent off after pulling Salma's hair— equalize the match in the second half.

Mariona Caldentey, Jana Fernández, Laia Codina, Lucía Corrales… These are just a few names of footballers who in recent years have swapped Barça for England. A phenomenon that is becoming increasingly frequent among Spanish female footballers. The conditions and opportunities in the Women’s Super League (WSL) – the name given to the English top division – are becoming increasingly attractive for players, who decide to embark on a new adventure in search of more competitive projects.

"The extraordinary thing is that it seems normal." With this slogan, Barça celebrated the men's league in the 2018-19 season. The team then led by Ernesto Valverde had just won their eighth league title in eleven seasons. At that time, the first women's team only had four league titles to their name. Since then, the blaugranes have been crowned champions of the domestic competition in the next seven seasons and now have eleven league titles. The latest one, this Wednesday after beating Espanyol 1-4 away. With more than ten points ahead of Real Madrid and with four matchdays left to finish the competition, Barça already has the second trophy of the season in their trophy cabinet, after the Spanish Super Cup.

"The extraordinary thing is that it seems normal." With this motto, Barça celebrated the men's league in the 2018-19 season. The team then led by Ernesto Valverde had just won their eighth league title in eleven seasons. At that time, the first women's team only had four league titles to their name. Since then, the Blaugranas have been crowned champions of the state competition every season and now have eleven league titles. The last one, this Wednesday after winning 1-4 on Espanyol's ground. With more than ten points clear of Real Madrid, and with four matchdays left to finish the competition, Barça already has the second trophy of the season in their trophy cabinet, after the Spanish Super Cup.

The rivalry between Barça and Espanyol is very present whenever the two clubs face each other. A few weeks ago it was experienced at the Camp Nou with the men's derby and at Johan Cruyff in the match between the reserve teams, and this Wednesday (7 p.m.) the excitement moves to the Ciutat Esportiva Dani Jarque with the duel that will pit the two women's teams against each other. A match that takes on special relevance because the blaugranes could certify the League title at the home of their eternal rival. Pere Romeu's team depends on itself and will be champions if they beat Espanyol. In the minds of all culers and pericos is what happened three years ago, in 2023, at the RCDE Stadium, when an invasion forced the cancellation of the blaugranes' celebration on the pitch. Fortunately, the blanc-i-blaves already have their survival assured and the tension will be less than what was experienced that day at the RCDE.

Barça continues to advance towards winning La Liga F after a 6-0 thrashing of Badalona with goals from Salma Paralluelo from a penalty, Marta Torrejón, Sydney Schertenleib, Esmee Brugts, Mapi León, and Martine Fenger after a great start to the second half to seal the match. The Blaugranas could celebrate the title in a few weeks if they win at Espanyol's ground – time yet to be confirmed – or by default if Real Madrid does not earn three points against DUX Logroño.

Claudia Pina (Montcada i Reixac, 2001) is one of the standout names this season for Barça women's team. The Catalan player – who renewed her contract until 2029 in December – has grown over the years to earn a place in the starting eleven. "It's a result of evolution. She was a child, she shone at Sevilla, she returned, but breaking into the best team is complicated," Miguel Llorente, who managed the footballer at the Barça B team, tells ARA. So far this season, she has played 36 matches, 26 of them as a starter, scoring 19 goals for Barça.

“It’s not just about the money, it’s about time and growth”. This is the reflection made by Pau Quesada, technician of Real Madrid, after conceding the 6-0 at Camp Nou. Barça once again demonstrated why it is a benchmark team and one we can be proud of, as Alexia Putellas described after the match. “I feel that we are all moving in the same direction: fans, team, and club”, added the captain. The blaugranes filled Camp Nou with 60,067 people, the best attendance since returning to the stadium. The attendance against Real Madrid surpassed the 56,812 spectators who had gathered ten days earlier to watch Barça - Rayo Vallecano (1-0).

Words are running out to describe this team. The Barça women's team has once again made history, both on and off the field. Pere Romeu's squad has gathered 60,067 people at the Camp Nou – an absolute record since returning to the stadium, for both men's and women's teams –, Alexia Putellas has reached 500 matches with the blaugrana jersey and, on the field, has once again thrashed – and crucified – Real Madrid, for the third time in a week. 6-0 at the end of 90 minutes in Barcelona and 12-2 on aggregate in the tie. Barça advances with a firm step to the semifinals for the eighth consecutive season and will face Bayern Munich.

“Alexia is Barça”. That is how Irene Paredes and Patri Guijarro – two of the captains – summarize Alexia Putellas. Almost 5,000 days after wearing the Barça jersey for the first time, the Mollet native has once again made history at the Camp Nou, where she has reached 500 games in the blaugrana shirt. This is yet another example of what a key player represents in the growth of the Catalan club. When Alexia debuted with Barça on August 24, 2012 – after playing for Espanyol and Levante to grow and establish herself in the First Division –, Barça had not yet played any Champions League matches, had just won their first league title – now they are on their way to their eleventh – and only had two Cups in their trophy cabinet – on May 16th, they could lift their twelfth.

Txell Font (Tagamanent, 2004) enters a small cafe in front of the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, where a large part of the Barça women's squad usually goes. She is the daughter and sister of Barcelona goalkeepers, so arriving between the posts has not been a surprise, even though her path has been unique. She started kicking a ball surrounded by boys at UE Centelles, the team from a small town in Osona, in all possible positions, until in one of the matches the goalkeeper was missing and by chance she ended up there between the posts. It wasn't until she was 12 years old that she joined the blaugrana team.

Five points is what separates Barça from winning their seventh consecutive Liga F after beating them 0-3 at the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium. Ona Batlle opened the scoring with a long-range shot that deflected off Rocío Gálvez and broke through the defensive wall set up by Madrid, and Alexia Putellas –with Barça's 100th goal against the white team– and an own goal sealed the match. Graham Hansen, who started after being a substitute on Wednesday, had a great game.
