The F League classic is without a doubt the private property of Barça. If anyone had any doubts about it, the Blaugranas took it upon themselves to shout a message loud and clear to whoever wanted to hear it: the queens maintain their throne and the distance between both teams has not been reduced at all, but remains astronomical. Yes, the dominance was total and overwhelming. Yes, the superiority bordered on the insulting. Thus, Barça enjoyed a military parade at the Alfredo di Stéfano stadium. He scored three goals in the first half alone (there could have been many more) and rounded off the victory in the second half with another goal to continue his winning streak in the domestic championship, where he only knows how to win.
Pere Romeu’s team took this duel very seriously. Although the rivalry with Real Madrid is somewhat artificial due to White’s lack of tradition in the F League, playing against the greatest rival is an insurmountable incentive. The Barça coach did not hold anything back. Except for Rölfo, due to injury, he lined up his gala eleven, with Guijarro, Aitana and Alexia in the middle, and with Pajor as nine.
Two goals from Guijarro and Pina in the first half led to a resounding victory
The leader’s ambition was evident from the first minute. The high pressure in the opposing half suffocated Madrid and there began a siege that would last half an hour. Before the first blink of an eye from the public Alexia finished off a corner and at the far post Guijarro went in with all his might to push the ball into the net. The blow of reality for the Toril players was evident. Despite this, they scrambled with a long ball that Redondo took advantage of to surprise Ona Batlle. Between Coll and Paredes they avoided the goal. That was the only clear arrival for the locals, who until yesterday had conceded only three goals in League F.
That Madrid action gave way to the Blaugrana gale. The combinations between Alexia, Aitana and Pina showed superiority in all areas of the field. Chasing ghosts is Toril’s team, which was able to receive the second before the tenth minute. The top scorer of the category, Ewa Pajor, failed, as she did not take advantage of a gift from Aitana inside the small area with an empty goal. Clear chances occurred in each attacking play (Barça’s possession constantly exceeded 70%), but sometimes Pajor’s lack of skill and other times the appearance of a defense at the right moment prevented the goal from arriving. It was a matter of time.
Alexia Putellas put fourth in the final straight and Madrid avoided the hand
Before half an hour Aitana appeared again in the area and after a poor clearance by Lakrar, Guijarro shot Misa from the edge of the area. By then, White hardly got past the center of the field. The third came before the break after a ride from the right by Graham Hansen, who assisted Pina inside the area. Barça could have scored another goal before the break, but Misa Rodríguez prevented it with saves from Aitana and Mapi León.
With the game decided, Barça tried to go for more goals, but without the voracity of the first half. The chances came in dribs and drabs, but not the success, the Achilles heel of Romeu’s team at the Di Stéfano. Toril’s changes took effect and his team improved until they were able to have several chances, which Bruun sent to limbo. Alexia Putellas rounded off the win with a subtle touch against Misa in a counterattack with five minutes remaining.
Barça is eight points behind Madrid (which has one game less)
After ten games played, Pere Romeu’s Barça only knows victory, having scored 46 goals and conceded only five. The victory at the Di Stéfano against the second-place team, which they now lead by eight points (Madrid has one game less), is a blow to League F. The certification that the dominance of this Barça is not threatened by nobody. Nor for Real Madrid.
