Once the national team break is over, Barça continues to be sweet. Pere Romeu’s team has successfully beaten Eibar (4-0) and manages to extend its advantage over its pursuer, Atlético de Madrid, who dropped two points this Saturday at the Ciutat Esportiva Dani Jarque.
The Barça team put the icing on the cake to the party that took place at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, where before the match with the gunsmith team the players toasted with the Ballon d’Or from Aitana Bonmatí (who was not a starter and went out onto the pitch in the 56th minute) and the distinction of best club in the world with its fans. The first to open the scoring – she did so from eleven meters – was another Ballon d’Or winner, Alexia Putellas (6). The penalty was committed by Eider on Ona Batlle. In the 21st minute, Vicky López joined the Catalans’ offensive gale and scored 2-0. The third came in the 33rd minute and the person in charge of making it happen was Patri Guijarro.
In the second half, Barça’s dominance was maintained and Ona Batlle (59) made it 4-0 thanks to an assist from Alexia Putellas. Throughout the rest of the game, the Barça monologue continued, with 85% of possession.
Thus, before the match between Barcelona and Eibar began, the Estadi Johan Cruyff paid tribute to its players for being awarded last Monday at the Ballon d’Or gala as the best club in the world. Aitana Bonmatí, who was distinguished as best player for the second consecutive year, also showed off her awards in front of the Barça fans. The photograph of the Sant Pere de Ribes midfielder was joined by Caroline Graham and Salma Paralluelo, who completed the podium for the award given by France Football.

For its part, Espanyol started a draw at home against Atlético de Madrid (0-0), the second placed team in the League. The point allows them to escape relegation and place themselves in fourteenth position in the table with six points in eight rounds.

On the other hand, Levante Badalona suffered its second defeat in the league championship on its visit to Seville. Betis won 4-3 in a duel marked by equality in which the Catalan team took the lead on the scoreboard with a goal from Melanie Serrano (37). However, three minutes later she scored an own goal that tied the match. The green and white team had more punch in the final stretch and managed to go into halftime with a favorable 3-1, with goals from Nana Ligero and Naima García.
In the second half, in the 52nd minute, Ana González closed the gap and made it 3-2 from the penalty spot. The Béticas reacted and Carla Armengol (58) widened the difference with Levante Badalona. Seven minutes later, Cristina Baudet scored the final 4-3. With this result, the Catalans remain fourth with 15 points.
