A historic attendance record at the Estadi Johan Cruyff (5,579 spectators on top of 5,569 for Barça-Real Madrid on March 25, 2023) deserves a work of art as in Alexia Putellas. The captain, who had just entered the field in the final minutes, saw Giulani and with a perfect shot with his left foot, from very far, he achieved the final 2-0 against Milan that gave Barça the 4th Joan Gamper Trophy. Ewa Pajorthe other main star of the match, scored 1-0 in the first half with a great header. A long-time star back to his best level and another newcomer who is already impressive. It promised.
After two wins in the first two preseason friendlies (1-5 at Hoffenheim and 5-0 against Montpellier at the Ciutat Esportiva), Pere Romeu He made his debut on the bench at the Estadi Johan Cruyff without being able to field a ‘starting’ eleven due to absence due to injury or discomfort (Cata Coll, Irene Paredes, Salma Paralluelo, Fridolina Rolfö and Martina Fernández) and the logical precautions taken with Spain’s other Olympic internationals who barely had a few training sessions after ten days off and were left on the bench: Aitana Bonmatí, Alexia Putellas, Patri Guijarro, Ona Batlle and Vicky López.
All in all, Barça offered a good image from the start with two cheeky midfielders from the reserve team Alba Caño and the 17-year-old Swiss Schertenleib and the dramatic shift of Esmee Brugts as a winger on the left side. And, of course, with the Polish forward Ewa Pajor as a great claim, with the Portuguese midfielder Kika Nazareth, the other great reinforcement, on the bench and the aforementioned English goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck in the stands
AND Ewa Pajorwho already has three goals and two assists in two preseason games, has not disappointed. In the 17th minute he hit a header with intent after a good service from the right wing Caroline Graham Hansenwho he already met at Wolfsburg in a promising partnership.
It is a harassment and demolition of Barça, with two crossbars of Schertenleib and to oneself Pajor and two G postsraham hansen. Besides, Giulaniwho ended the game with eleven stops, soured the Norwegian’s night Alba Caño.
In the carousel of changes in the second half, the dynamics of the game did not change. Continuous attack from a Barça who scored again through the youth squad Celia Segurabut the goal was disallowed due to a non-existent offside. And the refereeing error could have been costly as Milan, who did not go beyond the middle of the field, benefited from a rebound that allowed Selenius face Gemma Font in the race, but in a one-on-one shot high.
In the last minutes he made his debut Kika Nazareth at the Estadi, but the best was yet to come entering shortly before the end of the Alexia, Aitana, Patri and Ona Batlle. The former had enough time to leave his mark with a great goal from a long range Giulanithe best culmination for Gamper.
