The First Iberdrola 2021-22 for FC Barcelona has been a real process. Those led by Jonatan Giráldez have played 24 games with perfect pace and, with six games to go in the tournament, they have already shouted the alirón in the best possible way. This Sunday, the Catalans crushed Real Madrid (5-0) with a double from the best player in the world, Alexia Putellas, Patri Guijarro and Jennifer Hermoso. An own goal from Germany’s Babett Peter completed the win at the Johan Cruyff Stadium.
The game was a monologue of the locals from start to finish. Madrid only had one clear chance in the first half, when in the 14th minute a loss in Barça’s exit left Athenea outlined to finish off, but the goalkeeper Sandra Paños managed to neutralize the danger. The blaugranas had gone ahead just four minutes into the game through Fridolina Rolfö, but the goal of the Swedish striker was annulled by a millimeter offside.
After several Mass interventions, the white goal finally fell in the 41st minuteafter more than 20 continuous minutes of blaugrana siege. Alexia took advantage of a pass from Rolfö to finish off the goalin a shot that deflected into Ivana and surprised the ‘merengue’ goalkeeper, a figure of the game until then. Without hesitation, Alexia herself completed her brace two minutes later with another unstoppable right hand for Misa.. The culés went to the locker room with the fans chanting champions, champions!, and in the second half the win against a dedicated Madrid would be completed. Title and historic win for a Barça that this year aspires to win it all again.
