Sant Joan DespíCarla Julià (19 years old), Clara Serrajordi (18 years old), Aïcha Camara (19 years old), and Sydney Schertenleib (18 years old). They are the future of Barça, but since this season, they are also the present. All four started in Barça's 12-1 thrashing of Madrid CFF in another impressive performance at the Johan Cruyff Stadium, which boasted one of the best attendances of the season with 4,743 spectators. Despite rotations – Ona Batlle, Mapi León, Claudia Pina, Graham Hansen, and Laia Aleixandri didn't start, the latter two due to injury – Ewa Pajor was once again the one to break the deadlock. The Polish striker perfectly capitalized on a brilliant run and through ball from Clara Serrajordi to put Barça ahead.

Pere Romeu's team wasn't satisfied and quickly found their second goal through a cross from Alexia Putellas that Ewa Pajor once again sent into the back of the net. The league's top scorer (15 goals) completed her hat trick During the first 45 minutes. Before that, however, there was time for two spectacular goals from two young players who are developing very quickly. Carla Julià – who played on the right wing today – cut inside the box before unleashing a rocket into the back of the net. Sydney Schertenleib and Esmee Brugts also joined the party, and Núria Mendoza, with an own goal while trying to pass the ball back to Ulloa, completed the 7-0 rout in one of the best matches of the Pere Romeu era.

Ewa Pajor's Poker

Madrid CFF refused to give up and were rewarded with a goal after a cross from the left wing by Poljak was headed in by Nautnes, who got ahead of Mapi León. This spurred Barça into action, with goals from Alexia Putellas, who converted a penalty won by Carla Julià, and Ewa Pajor, who capitalized on the gift from the Barça captain to complete her four-goal haul. With a 9-1 lead, Pere Romeu's team continued to press and go into challenges with intensity. Ainoa Gómez – making her debut in the Barça shirt – Sydney, and Pina completed the rout.
