<\/p>\nAt the first attempt. FC Barcelona Femen\u00ed made no mistake and thanks to a 1\u20134 derby win away to RCD Espanyol Femen\u00ed, they were crowned league champions for the seventh consecutive time. With a heavily rotated starting XI, keeping the Champions League in mind, Pere Romeu\u2019s side still had more than enough to overcome their city rivals and reaffirm their dominance in Spanish football.<\/p>\n
The \u201claw of the ex\u201d<\/p>\n
With an average age of just over 22 and as many as four reserve-team players involved, alongside more established youngsters like A\u00efcha, Serrajordi and Sidney, Bar\u00e7a made their intentions clear from the outset. In one of the first attacks, Caroline Graham Hansen broke forward and, after linking up with Sidney, found Carla Juli\u00e0 in space, who scored against her former club with a precise low finish into the far corner.<\/p>\n
Penalty leveller<\/p>\n
The goalscorer continued to be a threat down the left, while Graham Hansen caused havoc on the right. Espanyol defended as best they could and looked to break through Browne. After chances for Sydney and A\u00efcha, a penalty was suddenly awarded to the hosts. Browne drew the foul from Marta Torrej\u00f3n, and Balleste sent Cata Coll the wrong way with a central strike on 28minutes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Graham again<\/p>\n
But the newfound equality lasted just a couple of minutes. Serrajordi threaded a superb pass through to Graham Hansen, who finished with class past Salvador. The scoreline at half-time could have been even better if Rosal\u00eda, making her league debut, had converted a third, but the game remained very much open.<\/p>\n
Fenger brace seals it<\/p>\n
Espanyol tried to push forward early in the second half, but Bar\u00e7a soon put the game beyond doubt. Another run from Carla Juli\u00e0 ended with a driven cross that Fenger turned in with her chest. With a two-goal cushion, and the introduction of more experienced players such as Alexia, Patri and Pina, Bar\u00e7a were able to slow the tempo and take control.<\/p>\n
Cata Coll also produced an excellent save to deny Browne during a brief spell of Espanyol pressure. But the young Bar\u00e7a players were far from done. They combined again for the fourth goal, Carla Juli\u00e0 providing the assist and Fenger finishing once more with clinical precision.<\/p>\n
Champs since 2020<\/p>\n
Seven in a row, and eleven in total, for a team that plays with joy and makes others enjoy the game… and still wants more. This Saturday they will look to take a strong result at the Allianz Arena in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.<\/p>\n
But for the moment they can celebrate an extension to an uninterrupted since 2020 of domestic titles!<\/p>\n
