Watching Jonatan Giráldez's Barça play is a spectacle. Graham Hansen's assists, Salma's goals, Aitana Bonmatí's vision... The match against Sevilla was a new exhibition for the Blaugrana team, who won 8-0 without much opposition. The Johan Cruyff fans honored Aitana for her recent Ballon d'Or. The Blaugrana footballer's cousins were in charge of presenting her with the trophy minutes before the start of the match.
After the well-deserved tribute, the League F ball started rolling, making the Blaugrana's superiority clear from the beginning. Salma Paralluelo upstaged Aitana on her big day with a stellar performance. The Aragonese scored a poker of goals in just over half an hour to end the match and place herself among the top scorers in the League along with (Madrid CFF) and Bruun (R. Madrid).
The first goal came seven minutes into the game. A run by Aitana that combined with Graham Hansen so that the Norwegian centered and Salma pushed the ball into the back of the net. Ten minutes later, the Blaugrana winger scored the second with a header after a cross from Lucy Bronze. Sevilla, which had shown quite a bit of fragility in defense, rearmed and tried its first shots at the hands of Sandra Paños, but to no avail.
Then, Salma Paralluelo would appear again to drill Yolanda Aguirre's goal again assisted by Graham Hansen who returned from her injury through the big door. And without time to digest the third, Sevilla would concede the fourth, again from the boots of a Salma in a state of grace. Bad start from the Andalusian goalkeeper that the Blaugrana footballer took advantage of to peacefully score the fourth in 39 minutes of the game.
The second half didn't start well for Sevilla either, as they conceded the fifth right away. A blunder by the Andalusian defense that sent a rebound into the small area where Mariona Caldentey was waiting to push it. Five minutes later the Balearic soccer player's double would come against Yolanda Aguirre who touched the ball but without enough tension to prevent it from sneaking into her goal. Just before the hour mark, Caroline Graham Hansen went from assistant to goal scorer to finish off a cross from Alexia and make the score 7-0.
In the last half hour of the game, Barça took their foot off the accelerator and the pace of the game slowed, but Marta Torrejón still had time to score the eighth to celebrate her 400 games as a Blaugrana.
Barça opens this decisive month of November in the best possible way, with the biggest win of the season. A result to instill confidence in the team before the classic against Real Madrid (November 19) and their debut in the Champions League with the duels against Benfica (November 14) and Eintracht (November 22).
The other Catalan representative of League F, Levante Las Planas, also added the three points. Ferran Cabello's team faced a recently promoted team like Granada and had to wait until the last breath to win. A narrow victory that came thanks to a goal from Tang in the 92nd minute.
Levante Las Planas remains in the upper-middle zone of the table with 12 points in the first seven rounds. Next week they will host Costa Adeje from Tenerife at home.
