Barça advances to the semi-finals after endorsing an incontestable win over Sevilla at the Johan Cruyff. The Blaugrana want to win the Queen's Cup after it was the only competition that escaped them last year due to Geyse's improper alignment against Osasuna in the first round.
For this reason, Giráldez had a gala eleven last night and the Blaugrana once again showed colorful and fun football, the kind that had not shined in the Catalans' matches for some days.
Against Sevilla they had fun while playing effective football with which they gave Cristian Toro's team no option. It took six minutes for the first to fall, from the boots of Salma Paralluelo, which would end with a double. The goals were falling, Aitana Bonmatí made it 2-0 after a quarter of an hour, taking advantage of a pass from Mariona Caldentey, who served her the goal on a plate for the Ballon d'Or to finish by diving to the ground at the back of the net. The Balearic would score a double in a row, including a penalty goal, to sign the Blaugrana's poker. But there would still be time for more in the first 45 minutes. Salma Paralluelo scored the fifth assisted by Mariona and there is no game without a goal from Caroline Graham Hansen, who scored the sixth.
At half-time, Barça was already winning by an incontestable 6 to 0 due to the impotence of Sevilla, aware that they could do nothing to stop the Barcelona steamroller, who took their foot off the accelerator in the second half.
It was not a peaceful match for Esther Sullastres. The Sevilla goalkeeper saved several shots, but she went home with a victory. A mistake of hers led to the seventh at the beginning of the second half, the ball escaped her after Salma Paralluelo's header and Aitana weighed the rebound to score her personal double. The eighth and final one went to the young footballer from the reserve team Ari Arias.
The Blaugrana are the second team qualified for the semi-finals, along with Athletic, who beat Tenerife on penalties. Semi-finals that this year recover the double-leg eliminator format, which will be played on March 6 and 13.
