FC Barcelona hosts Madrid CFF this Sunday at Estadi Johan Cruyff in a Liga F Moeve fixture, according to match reports.
The team enters the weekend holding the top position in the league standings after Real Madrid drew 1-1 against Athletic Club.
Head coach Pere Romeu stated that Madrid CFF presents a difficult challenge due to their defensive intensity. El Madrid CFF está haciendo una buena temporada, ha cambiado muchísimo la plantilla que tenía la pasada temporada, aunque no ha cambiado de entrenador,
Romeu said in a press conference reported by Mundo Deportivo.
Es un equipo muy agresivo sin balón, que le gusta hacer presiones altas y saltan hacia adelante.
Barcelona enters the weekend fixture following a 2-1 defeat to Real Sociedad. Since that setback, the squad recorded victories against Granada 3-0, HB Køge 8-0, and Badalona Women 4-0.
Romeu will manage several squad absences for Sunday’s match. Irene Paredes, Vicky López, Kika Nazareth, and Laia Aleixandri remain unavailable with physical complaints. However, the manager indicated that Paredes and López could return to group training soon in time for the upcoming UEFA Women’s Champions League match against Arsenal.
Young midfielder Clara Serrajordi is available for selection after being substituted with minor discomfort during the previous league fixture. Probable line-ups feature Cata Coll in goal for Barcelona, supported by Aïcha, Martina, Van Asten, and Brugts in defense, alongside midfielders Patri, Aitana, and Sydney, and an attacking trio of Graham, Pajor, and Pina.
Following the league encounter, Barcelona turns its attention to a Champions League fixture against Arsenal scheduled for Thursday at Spotify Camp Nou.
Sunday’s match kicks off at 16:00 local time and will be broadcast via DAZN, TV3, and Teledeporte. The referee for the encounter is Lorena del Mar Trujillano from the Andalusian committee.
