CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC: FC BARCELONA, 2024/25 SEASON.

The recently concluded season not withstanding, what can fans expect from Barça come August? Here is a deep dive. For FC Barcelona and culés, the 2023/24 season was by and large underwhelming, below expectations. Reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions…

¡Vamos a México!

Live fast, travel often. Not exactly how the quote goes, but for Barcelona Femení the tail end of a domestic season in Spain and capping off European competition as champions means more time for training and less thinking for games. In this case, "l'equip" (the team) are heading across oceans and over borders to arrive 9,425 km away, or 5,856 miles away. Barcelona will be facing Mexican powerhouses Chivas Femenil in an international friendly at Estadio Akron near Guadalajara. And the people of Mexico are ready.

Let’s Dance (El Clásico style)

There are certain rivalries in sports that ignite more than passion, a feeling or sentiment similar to disgust. But that feeling or sentiment similar to disgust is what keeps us entertained for 90 minutes on a football pitch even from the stands, more intent on beating the opponent than one would in war.

Copa de la Reina – the Queen’s Cup

We've made it to a new year. New goals, new challenges, new competition, new trophies. And for Barcelona Femeni, this superstar team is no stranger to Copa de la Reina, "the Queen's Cup".

With a tumultuous schedule in place for FC Barcelona Femeni's 2023-2024 season, players finding time and energy for international competition with their respective countries is both extravagant and exhausting, basking in the ruthlessness and radiance of representing one's nation while on a strenuous set up. In the case of England's Keira Walsh and Lucy Bronze (pictured above), who have been starting most matches for undefeated club Barcelona, both participants desire global domination for England's Lionesses, who most recently fell to Spain in the Women's World Cup final this summer.

FC Barcelona fly atop Liga F, Alexia Putellas soars to 182 goals

Football is a game of numbers. Players wearing numbers, number of goals scored (or not scored), number of goals conceded (or not conceded), number of players on the pitch, number of defenders in a formation, to name a few. And no Pythagorean theorem, rather components of statistics and data. If we were to get into detail of people's jobs in the football industry using numbers that would not limit but include scouts and analysts, coaching staff and management, physiotherapists and dietitians. In the case of FC Barcelona Femeni, who have rushed like a bull in a china shop this season with five victories in five matches played, numbers are meant to be built up and then break down records.
