The Barça women have continued their relentless march through the 2021/22 season with a 3-0 victory at Eibar on Saturday with goals from Crnogorcevic, Oshoala and Jenni Hermoso, all in the first half. There were chances aplenty to extend on that lead after the break, but it didn’t happen.


Great first half

Eibar had the first clear chance when Cata Coll saved a well-struck free kick, but it was the Catalans who dominated the play and they eventually made that count in the form of goals.

Ana Crnogorcevic headed in a Lieke Martens cross after 19 minutes, and it was Martens again who served Oshoala’s eleventh goal of the current league campaign. The Dutch international capped a fabulous first half by also playing a key role in the build-up to Jenni Hermoso’s goal just before the break.

Danger but no goals

Barça Femení came close on several occasions to adding to the three goals in the first half. María León sent one strike skimming wide of the post, Claudia Pina’s powerful effort was saved by Noelia and a number of other chances went begging, but the three points were already more than secure.

Renovations and arguments.


1) Renovations.

It has just been announced that Mariona Caldentay has extended her contract with Barcelona. New captain, Alexia Putellas had renewed her contract a few weeks ago. There are rumours that a bunch of contract renewals are coming up soon (Barca usually does the renewals in bunches).

2) Arguments.

The arguments.

That was quite interesting. That guy used a picture of Chelsea star, Pernille Harder, as a meme.

Judolisco:
Make dem draft some of dem go barca men team

Obyangel:
Deadly striker, better than all super eagle's strikers.

RedEnergy:
Oshoala deserves and is overwhelmingly overqualified for a female Balon D'or. If she were White, they would have given her at least twice by now. So much racism in football.

FutureIsFemale:
Women are better than men you mean?

RedEnergy:
72 goals in 92 games for Barca despite the racist coaches using her as a substitute in plenty games last 2 seasons. You can't stop what cannot be stopped. Oshoala is already a legend in global female football.
