The Barça season 2023/24 - femení edition

At long last, the femení edition. I couldn't not do it for the history makers!

Analysis of goals, transfers & injuries

Note: Club Friendlies are not counted, considering it's really just a meeting of teams that don't usually meet. It's not a competition

Warning: There could be inaccuracies, for that I am sorry

Goals

4 TROPHIES! FINALLY THEY DEFEATED LYON;

As you can see, the ladies closed out yet another season with over 200 goals scored! In Liga F alone 135!;

Salma is the total topscorer, whilst also being the topscorer in 3 of the 4 competitions;

Caroline is the Liga F Pichichi for the 1st time ever since transferring to Barça! An amazing season for her turns out to be very fruitful;

Fridolina who missed 7 months came up to score a whooping 6;

Marta & Ona scored the most out of all defenders. 9 for Marta is incredibly well done. Ona definetly didn't miss her mark in her 1st season back with 7;

7 players with double digit goals, including Alexia who despite missing 5 months scored 10 more than last season;

Many youngsters also marked 1 or more goal, with Vicky being the outlier with 9!

Transfers

Some of the transfers are loans;

Pere Romeu becomes the new coach. He was part of Jona's staff. The cycle of Barça coach is a long involved staff member thus continues;

The departure of some was expected (Asisat, Geyse, Laia), however the 2 that are still a bitter pill were Ana-Maria & Nuria's. With how little notice both were sent away. I do think they learnt their lesson considering Jona, Mario & Sandra's sent-off;

There weren't many new transfers ahead of the season. 2 of these were even for Barça B - Onyeka & Giulia;

However there are 2 incoming transfers that are pre-negociated (?) in the form of Ewa Pajor & Ellie Roebuck. Pajor would be a striker which Barça hasn't had since Oshoala left mid-season. Roebuck would be more of a Cata stand-in as Cata officially becomes the no.1. I'd assume Ellie would be rotated with her;

Then there's also the rumour of Laia Aleixandri coming home - like Ona, she is also a La Masia product. This would be crucial given the CB-crisis that was this past season was horrendous. As well as the fact that Laia is a decent player: very fast on & off the ball & much like Patri willing to fight all the time;

It is painful but I say goodbye to Asisat, Sandra, Jonatan & Mariona with the utmust gratitude

Injuries

Which is what I'll highlight here first: the CB crisis; Irene for parts of the year was ill, Mapi had a whooping total of 3 injuries with her most severe putting her out of action for 200 days & Jana herself was out for 7 months. This resulted in relying heavily on Martina Fernandez - a Barça B player - & Ingrid Engen - a MIDFIELDER. Unfortunately this came at the cost for Martina at the very end of the season;

With Ona & Martina being the final additions to equipo lesionado, Ingrid is potentially the final player left to not have been injured. This is evident in the high amount of minutes to she played. It is crucial that Barça could close the deal on free agent Laia A. if they want so that Ingrid can be rotated from time to time;

Mapi, Fridolina, Alexia & Jana missed a lot of months to play & were greatly missed;

Caroline this season was out for less long than other times. This was usually with Norway;

September, October & November were by far the worst months;

Aitana & Bruna played through discomfort.

Other highlights

Ingrid whilst not reflected in the G/A had a very stable season. Goddamn this woman played CB despite not even being a defender. She played a lot of minutes & she did it well;

Alexia & Frido's comebacks!!!;

The amount of Barça B players that got a significant amount of time is also very pleasant. They all had a moment to shine;

Jana & Bruna finally recovering for real;

The highly anticipated return of Mapi;

Irene lifting the UWCL for a 2nd time... having defeated Lyon by a strong performance... in her home that is the Basque country <3;

Cata inevitable number change from 13 to 1!

peak desi experience : recently came across Jude Bellingham and as if on queue, did all my research about Real Madrid and Jude and told my parents that I probably have a new celebrity crush.

They went like "Shubman Gill kam tha ki ab Spain wala bhi lana hai?"

Help, they don't even know Jude is British.

"I wouldn't support a footballer strike because they get paid lots of money to do their job, they can go to a small club if they want less matches"

My brother in Christ, Allah or whatever deity you worship, no amount of money will stop your bones from breaking and your muscles tearing.
