Olga García is another product of the club’s youth system who returned in 2015 after a two-year spell at Levante.

Røddik joined FCB two summers ago. Then Danish international was a regular part of the defence in her first season, but last year struggled with injuries and player a lesser role.

Andrea Giménez is another goalkeeper to have come out of the academy, and who has shared first team duties with the reserve team in recent years.

And Perle Morroni arrived on loan from París Saint-Germain during the winter transfer window and is now being released back to her former club.
