BarcelonaBarça is a Chinese drop for Real Madrid. The drop of cold water in this case does not fall on the forehead of the whites every five seconds, but it does so whenever they face the blaugranas. Every time Florentino Pérez’s women’s football project seems to be starting to take off in the earthly world, Barça arrives from another dimension and puts things back in their place. Madridistas are apparently advancing, as long as they don’t play against the Catalan team. Two goals from Patri Guijarro, one from Clàudia Pina and a work of art from Alexia drew a 0-4 to Alfredo Di Stéfano that came up short, and they already have fifteen cultural triumphs out of fifteen possible since the appearance of the madridistas.
It is evidence that Real Madrid’s engine room has improved with the arrival of Leupolz or that the attack has more danger with Alba Redondo and the returning Caroline Weir, but as a whole they are still a long way from the team led by Aitana, Alexia, Caroline Graham and company. The best in the world, wow. Barça didn’t even leave time for Real Madrid to acclimatise to the game and, in the 3rd minute, Patri Guijarro made it 0-1 in a stadium that sold out the 6,000 tickets on sale.
Caroline Graham served a corner, Alexia extended the play with her head and Patri Guijarro appeared in time at the far post to push the ball into the back of Misa’s goal. But, just as Barça’s first goal usually led to Madrid being stunned, this time the whites reacted in the first moment with a counterattack that did not end with the tie because Irene Paredes deflected the shot under the posts Alba Redondo, which had already passed Cata Coll.
The start of the match was extremely intense and Pere Romeu’s team could have also made it 0-2 before the 21st minute. Then, Patri Guijarro, with a low, dry and tight shot from the front of the area , after a bad rejection from Real Madrid, put more ground in the middle. This second blow did shake the emotional stability of the home team, especially because Barça then turned the match into a game in which the Blaugrana moved the ball as they wanted and the Whites chased it with fruitless results. The gestures of the Madrid footballers showed desperation: glances that looked for culprits among the teammates, arms lowered after each rival combination and recurring renegades.
Clàudia Pina from Montcaden, with a shot at the first touch from inside the area after a pass from Caroline Graham, made history 0-3 before the break and gifted the stands of the Alfredo di Stéfano kisses the Barça crest. If in the half the result was not a scandal, it was thanks to three exceptional stops by Misa. “I’m leaving with the feeling that we could take a lot more than three,” Pina told F-League media on his way to the locker room for some rest.
The one who rested little was Misa, who went out on the pitch before her teammates in the second half to do warm-up exercises, as if Alberto Toril’s talk didn’t go with her. Reason was not lacking because it was the only one from Madrid that showed a level worthy of a confrontation between the two main football clubs of the State. The Canary Islands also had enough of avoiding Catalan goals for the rest of the game. But Barça, calmer, allowed proud arrivals from the locals who, in any case, were unable to finish in the final stretch. A new dose of reality for Madridism that Alexia rounded off at the end of the match with a vaseline that will go around the world.
