FC Barcelona Femeni’s 2023–24 preseason: With five matches played, five wins under their belt, a staggering 13 goals scored, and an impeccable five clean sheets, there’s plenty to unpack from these early encounters.
But as any football fan knows, stats are just the beginning. Let’s take a closer look at what’s been happening on the pitch. Join us as we break down the highs and lows, analyze standout performances and the latest developments, and peek into the challenges that lie ahead for the Blaugrana women.
The Positives
In this remarkable preseason for FC Barcelona Femeni, the standout performer has undeniably been Claudia Pina. Scoring the most of the 13 goals in these five matches. What’s even more impressive is her fantastic partnership with Patri Guijarro in midfield. Their chemistry and understanding have been a joy to watch, as they orchestrated the team’s attacks with finesse and precision.
But Claudia Pina wasn’t the only star shining bright in these preseason encounters. The emergence of Barça B players added depth and dynamism to the squad. Their performances showed that the future is bright for the team. It’s worth noting that the remarkable Judit Pujols graced us with an unforgettable golazo, leaving fans in awe. Moments like these remind us of the sheer talent within the Barça Femeni ranks.
When it comes to goal contributions, it’s not just about one or two players. The entire team rallied together to create magic on the field. From the seasoned Mapi León to the amazing Caroline Graham Hansen, each player played a pivotal role in the team’s wins.
And let’s not forget the new signing for Barça B, Martine Fenger, who made an instant impact by scoring in her very first match. Her debut goal was a testament to the depth of talent waiting in the wings for its chance to shine.
The preseason has been a platform for these exceptional individuals to showcase their skills and for the entire team to find their rhythm. As the season progresses, we can only imagine the heights this collective talent will reach and the joy they’ll bring to fans worldwide.
Fan Reactions and Concerns
In the world of football, opinions flow freely, and fans always have something to say. Let’s take a look at some of the reactions from the Barça faithful.
Lack of Effectiveness and Playing Without a Striker
Some fans have expressed concerns about the team’s effectiveness, lack of verticality, and the absence of a new striker. It’s a point that the coaching staff might need to address as the season progresses. The club is only left with Asisat Oshoala as the natural striker in the team after just selling Geyse to Manchester United.
The striker dilemma is one of the most talked-about issues because of the absence of a traditional striker in the team. This has led to questions about sales of Geyse and the team’s goal-scoring capabilities. Some supporters argue that a striker is essential to breaking down defenses, while others wonder if the team can adapt to a striker-less system effectively.
Defensive Issues
Defense depth is another concern raised, as the club has just sold first-team player Laia Codina to Arsenal. Some players have also been playing out of position during these pre-season games. This issue needs to be resolved for a solid backline.
The Gap Between Barça and the Rest
One fan pointed out the glaring gap between Barça and their competitors, emphasizing the team’s dominance in these preseason matches.
The World Cup Factor
A significant subplot to this preseason is the absence of key players who participated in the World Cup semifinals and finals. Their return will undoubtedly add another dimension to the team.
Looking Ahead
As we eagerly await the official start of the season, it’s essential to remember that the real test for Barça Femeni comes in the UEFA Women’s Champions League knockout stage. Until then, these preseason wins serve as a confidence boost and an opportunity for the team and the coach to fine-tune their tactics.
The Opposition
Fans have also raised questions about the quality of the opposition faced during the preseason. Montpellier, Juventus, Club América, and Tigres Femenil were among the opponents, but some are curious about the level of competition they provided.
Concluding Thoughts
While fans have voiced their concerns, it’s crucial to remember that these matches serve as preparation for the season ahead. As they say, “The season is a marathon, not a sprint.” With the right adjustments and the undeniable talent within the squad, Barça Femeni is poised for another remarkable season.
The Mexico tour was great, but it’s just the beginning of what promises to be an exhilarating journey. There’s depth in the squad waiting to be utilized effectively. Jana, Bruna, Vicky, Ari Arias, and Judit Pujols have shown their ability to provide depth, and Pina seems ready to take the next step. As we eagerly await the start of the season, one thing is clear – Barça Femení is ready to face any challenge that comes their way.
So, what’s next for this formidable team? Stay tuned as we bring you all the action, updates, and insights throughout the season.
