Barça Women, Faced with a Logroño Marked by Losses and the Celebration of Renewals

Barça Femenino, against a Logroño marked by casualties and the celebration of renewals

The blaugranas are looking for three points in Las Gaunas after the tough cup elimination and with an eye on the future of their young talents.

FC Barcelona Femenino faces DUX Logroño today in a match that promises mixed emotions. After the bitter elimination of the Queen's Cup at the hands of the eternal rival, Real Madrid, the Barça team must recover and focus its attention on League F. However, the road does not appear easy, plagued by significant absences and the shadow of a serious injury.

The quadriceps contusion that Alexia Putellas suffered in the Cup Classic has left her out of the squad for the duel in Rioja. That of Mollet del Vallès, a fundamental piece in the culé scheme, joins a list of casualties that considerably reduces the team. The most worrying, without a doubt, is that of Laia Aleixandri.

The Catalan centre-back suffered a torn ligament in her knee during the match against Real Madrid, a serious injury that will require surgery. The news has fallen like a bucket of cold water in the Blaugrana locker room, and her teammates have already expressed their intention to dedicate the victory in Logroño to her as a gesture of support and encouragement in this difficult moment.

But the absences don't end there. Coach Pere Romeu will also not be able to count on Marta Torrejón and Irene Paredes, who did not travel for personal reasons and with the permission of the club. They are joined by Aitana Bonmatí and Mapi León, whose absences, although for different reasons, will also be noticed on the field of play.

Given this scenario, Romeu has turned to the reserve team to complete the call. Defenders Adriana Ranera, Maria Llorella and Carla Julià, along with forward Martine Fenger, will have the opportunity to prove their worth and add to the team at a crucial moment. The coach recognized the difficulty of Aleixandri's loss, describing it as “very sensitive” and ensuring that his contribution in all aspects of the game will be missed.

Regarding Mapi León, Romeu explained that the player “continues her readaptation process” and that she will need “a few more days” to evolve. The uncertainty over the return of some of the key players creates an atmosphere of expectation around the lineups and strategies that the coaching staff may employ.

The match at the Las Gaunas Municipal Stadium, which will begin at 6:00 p.m. and will be broadcast by DAZN, also brings positive news. Clara Serrajordi and Aïcha Cámara, two young talents who have burst into the first team with force, have seen their progress rewarded with the renewal of their contracts with Barça until 2028. Romeu expressed his “great joy” for these renewals, highlighting that both players “have knocked down the door of the first team” with their effort and dedication.

The celebration of these renewals contrasts with the sadness over the injuries, creating a scenario of emotional duality for the team. DUX Logroño, for its part, will seek to take advantage of the circumstances to obtain a positive result against one of the most powerful teams in the league.

The probable elevens for the match are the following:

Equipment	Players
DUX Logroño	Miralles; Leitner, Rebeca, Perera, Masferrer, Martín; Asejo, Laura Martínez, Falfán, Mawete; and Isina.
FC Barcelona	Gemma; Ona Batlle, Patri, Aïcha, Julià; Kika, Serrajordi, Sydney; Vicky, Pajor and Salma.

The arbitration will be carried out by Eugenia Gil Soriano, from the Galician committee. FC Barcelona, despite the adversity, will seek to impose its game and add three vital points to maintain its position in the standings, while honoring the fight and spirit of its injured teammates.

The F Moeve League is thus presented as a scenario of improvement for the Barça team, where the resilience and talent of the available players will be key to facing the upcoming challenges.
