March 05, (THEWILL) – Barcelona extended their unbeaten streak in Primera Iberdrola with an impressive 5-0 win against Villarreal, with Asisat Oshoala opening the floodgates.
The Catalan giants dominated the game from start to finish, showcasing their relentless attacking style of play. The 5,026 fans present at the Johan Cruyff Stadium were treated to an impressive display by Jonatan Giráldez’s side, who now sit comfortably at the top of the league table.
The match was also marked by celebrations of International Women’s Day, with various activities taking place around the stadium before kickoff. Prior to the game, Barcelona stars, Alexia Putellas, Mapi León, Keira Walsh, and Lucy Bronze, were honoured for their achievements at the recent “The Best” awards ceremony.
The players then went on to put on an impressive display, with goals from Oshoala, Salma Paralluelo, and a hat-trick from Graham Hansen, securing the victory. Several Barca players returned from injury, including Hansen, Ingrid Egen, and Jana Fernández, who made her first appearance in over a year.
Barcelona is poised to continue their dominant run in the league and will be hoping to replicate their success in the UEFA Women’s Champions League, where they are up against Roma in the quarter-finals.
