Women's Real Madrid experienced a Sunday full of frustration, losing 1-0 against Eibar in a crucial Liga F match. The whites came into this game as strong favorites, having been one of the most solid teams of the season. In fact, they had only suffered one defeat, precisely against their eternal rival, Barça.
This stumble against Eibar was an unexpected blow for Alberto Toril's team. The merengues failed to impose their game, and the visiting team took all three points with an unanswered goal.
This setback comes at a challenging time, just days before their Spanish Super Cup semifinal against Real Sociedad. The defeat against Eibar highlights some weaknesses that the team must quickly correct if they wish to aspire to glory in this competition.
Barça Returned to the Stadium Where It Was Happy
Meanwhile, Women's Barça traveled to San Mamés to face Athletic Club in the league matchday. The stadium, which has become a special place for the blaugranas after winning their last Champions League, once again hosted a difficult match.
The lionesses put pressure on Pere Romeu's girls. Once again, however, Barça could count on their captain, Alexia Putellas, to solve the situation.
Alexia Putellas: the Goal of Hope
In the 90th minute, everything seemed to indicate that the match would end in a tie. At that moment, Barça's star Alexia Putellas appeared as a true savior.
The player recovered a ball that seemed lost and, with great precision, scored the goal that put them ahead on the scoreboard. The celebration was overwhelming, with the captain surrounded by her teammates, who joined in her joy seeing their leader return with strength.
This goal was not only decisive for the outcome but also made it clear that Putellas is back. The player, after overcoming several injuries, showed that she remains key for the team and is ready to compete at the highest level.
To close the match, Women's Barça's gem, Vicky López, appeared to make it 2-0 on the scoreboard and seal the victory. The young footballer has proven her great talent in recent matches and has established herself as a reference.
