Barça go over Real in the return of Alexia Putellas

Barça had a Feast (1-7) in Zubieta with a stellar Salma Paralluelo who scored a clutch of goals in half an hour. A match that also served to see the return of Alexia Putellas to the playing fields after almost four months injured. A return in which she demonstrated that she was already at a high level, scoring the seventh for the Blaugrana, who gave no option to a Real team that was greatly surpassed by the culé dominance.

Zubieta hung the 'complete' sign to receive the leaders of League F. A duel that featured young and less common faces in the ranks of Real Sociedad and Barcelona. In the middle of the semi-finals of the Queen's Cup, which are contested by both Basques and Catalans, Natalia Arroyo and Jonatan Giráldez reserved some players in what will be the last duel on the F League bench for these two old acquaintances, Well, the Blaugrana coach will go to the United States at the end of the season.

As soon as she started, Lucy Bronze had the first chance for the Blaugrana. The English full-back came in from behind to finish off a pinpoint center from Mariona, but she inexplicably failed alone against Elene Lete. Real Sociedad's response was a foul by Manuela Vanegas that hit the crossbar. A very dynamic first few minutes that gave way to the Blaugrana steamroller. At fifteen minutes, Vicky López, taking advantage of the fact that the defense gave her time to think, armed her leg and beat Lete with a powerful shot from outside the area. With no time to react, Salma Paralluelo would sentence Real with a double in two minutes. The first, with a powerful shot from the edge of the area, and the second, heading a precise cross from Graham Hansen.

La Real did not manage to recover from the blow and had serious difficulties in facing the suffocating pressure of the culés, who did not allow them to have the ball. And just before the break, Salma Paralluelo sealed the victory with her personal hat-trick by sending a powerful free kick into the back of the net that bounced off the crossbar over Lete to become the 0-4 with which they would leave to the locker rooms.

The second half would start with the same name, an unstoppable Salma Paralluelo who also scored the fifth, the fourth in her personal record, taking advantage of a pass from Ona ​​Batlle inside the area and putting her foot in just enough to send it to the back of the goal. grid.

The Aragonese player shared the spotlight with Alexia Putellas, who returned to the playing fields after four months injured. After having surgery on her knee in December, the Blaugrana captain had continued to recover and she was discharged during the last Nations League, when she was called up by Montse Tomé for the final, despite the fact that she did not have minutes. Yes, he had them in Zubieta, entering the field of play in the 66th minute and a few minutes later he would celebrate his first goal, a hanging ball from Bruna Vilamala that the midfielder finished off apparently offside, but in League F there is no VAR , so the goal went up on the scoreboard. Before, Caroline Graham Hansen had scored the sixth after an excellent one-two with the young Vicky López.

Amaiur Sarriegi, who had also entered the second half, made up the result with 1-7 after scoring a great goal that went over Cata Coll to the delight of the Txuri-Urdin fans.
