Barça 4-0 Eibar: Team of the year seal another win

Another league win for Barça Women brings their total to eight for the season, with goals from Alexia Putellas, Vicky López, Patri Guijarro and Ona Batlle. The win against Eibar was a hard fought as the Basque side came to defend, but Pere Romeu's side were just too good and dominated the encounter from start to finish, while wearing the Spotify collaboration jersey bearing the logo of Coldplay's new album 'Moon Music'. 

The game saw a moving minute's silence before the game in memory of the victims of the recent flooding in Valencia, Castilla-La Mancha and Andalusia. The team also showed off the award for Team of the Year and Aitana's Ballon d'Or following the recent gala in Paris. 

Alexia makes history 

The game started with a bang as Ona Battle won a penalty which allowed Alexia Putelles to stroke home the penalty to record goal number 198 for Barça, a total equalling Luis Suárez as the third highest goalscorer in club history, with only César on 232 and Leo Messi on 672 ahead. 

Domination before half time 

The chances kept coming and in the 19th minute Claudia Pina struck the post. Two minutes later an effort from Pina was bounced into the path of Vicky López who made it 2-0. 

On 33 minutes a free kick was headed home by Patri to hand the blaugranes a 3-0 lead at half time. 

In the second half on 55 minutes Carolina Graham Hansen was replaced by Aitana Bonmatí, the runner-up in the Ballon d'Or substituted by the winner to a great ovation from the crowd. Aitana was involved in the fourth goal of the evening as Alexia fed Ona Batlle who made it 4-0 on 59 minutes. With the result in no doubt, the blaugranes eased off the gas to cruise to another victory on a special evening in the Estadi Johan Cruyff. 

Barça Women are next in action on Saturday 9 November when they face second placed Atlético Madrid in La LigaF.
