This year, it weighs everything, it has been the fight for the most tight title since Barça dominates without opponent since 2020, deciding for the first time in the penultimate day since then. “This season is being the most balanced and exciting of recent years,” says Beatriz Álvarez, president of League F, to El País. One of the reasons, the step forward by Madrid. “In the fight for the title, Barça has encountered a Real Madrid with a continuous sports commitment that has allowed him to match his record of 24 victories, and impose himself on the Catalans for the first time in history, maintaining the emotion until the last two days to meet the champion,” adds Álvarez. “Every time the level (between Barcelona and Madrid) is more matched, regardless of the previous results,” said Alexia Putellas in the classic defeat. Equality has also extended in the struggle for the last Champions Plaza and with the descent positions. The president highlights “growth” and the “improvement of the internal structures of clubs” to achieve “greater competitiveness and professionalization.”
Despite the greatest competitiveness of Madrid and a more human Barcelona, the Culés continue to dominate in Europe, already in the Champions League final, and in Spain, with the Super Cup and the League in the pocket and in the final of the Cup. The historic poker last year could be repeated.
And that first was not a simple year. “We have had an ascending season. At first it cost us more, but now we are in a good time,” said Ona Batlle. The first defeat against Manchester City left strange sensations. “We are human, we also lose,” said Aitana Bonmatí. “For those who do not know this team, we always learn from the defeats and take out something,” Puthelas added. Time proved him right.
The team continues to succeed, and the keys are diverse. Among them, the continuity of star players, a attentive defensive line, the DNA Barça style and a new continuist coach, an expert in the tactics, who knew the costumes and that came out of his own Staff by Jonatan Giráldez. And also the things that have changed, with a game based more in the center of the field and on the tip. That’s where Ewa Pajor, Claudia Pina and the three titular midfielders, Aitana, Alexia and Patri Guijarro.
Ewa Pajor did not need practically adaptation. He arrived this summer to be the leading center of reference that had demanded for years Barcelona. The Polish, the first in the pressure, is the league and team Pichichi: 41 goals in 44 games. “We are very lucky to have it. It was a brutal signing. He presses more than one player, that makes we can defend back. In low blocks it gives you depth. He is maturing in defense and growing through recoveries, even having the capacity to counterattack,” said Romeu. Pajor usually turns barefoot on the grass after training, and before the games, in flip flops.
Another idyll with the goal has been lived by Claudia Pina. La Canterana has broken down this season after the hole left by a versatile Mariona Caldentey. This summer worked extra, and from its environment they emphasize that maturity has been key to step forward. “He is demonstrating what he could have done years ago, because he already had the quality, but now he has maturity,” explain those who know it. Pina gives continuity to creation on the edge of the area, and is already the maximum scorer of the Champions League with 10 goals. In total accumulate 20 goals, being decisive in many games.
And with whom it has been associated in the left area of the field is with Alexia. The captain is being fundamental in a center of the field that has returned to the configuration that triumphed a few years ago after the goodbye of Keira Walsh: Aitana of the right interior, Patri de Pivote, and Alexia of the left interior. The three, in addition, with arrival. Aitana is still essential, with an individual quality and resistance that maintains it permanently in eleven. But Patri, silent, grows year after year. The construction of Barça this season has gone through it: intelligent, knows how to occupy the spaces, identify the advantages in pressure and intercept and recover.
In addition, Alexia, back in his best version, and with data and records that speak for themselves: third top scorer in the history of Barça (212), the top scorer in the history of the league F (152) above Jenni Hermoso (148) and the maximum assistant this season in the local competition (11). It is also the first soccer player of the five major European leagues to reach double digits in goals (16) and assists (11) this season.
The data accompany her, also the leadership of the grass on a team with a usual mentality. “We do not give any victory for guaranteed,” Putellas repeated on several occasions. “If something characterizes this team is humility. One more season we depend on us, and that speaks very well of the team and the project,” said Pere Romeu. Barcelona continues to demonstrate power. “Then comes the final of Lisbon, and then the Queen’s Cup. It is four weeks in which you play everything, but it is lucky to reach this moment like this,” the captain confessed this week. Although other teams approach, and the culés are human, with hole to the error, they continue to add titles.
