Barcelona Women’s team achieved a resounding 5-0 victory over Montpellier in a match that showcased their dominance from the beginning. The game served as an effective tactical exercise as they gear up for the new season.
The match took place at Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, where Barcelona made a strong impression right from kickoff, scoring two goals within the first 10 minutes. Esmee opened the scoring with a powerful shot past Montpellier’s goalkeeper Petiteau, followed shortly by Ewa Pajor, who displayed her skill with an impressive individual effort to extend the lead to 2-0 in the 11th minute.
Pajor continued to make her mark by assisting Rolfö for the third goal in the 35th minute, and shortly before halftime, she set up Bruna to score, increasing the score to 4-0 at the 44-minute mark. After the break, Rolfö returned the favor, allowing Pajor to net her second goal and finalize the score at 5-0 in the 53rd minute.
In the remainder of the match, Barcelona maintained control, creating several opportunities to add to their tally, though they were unable to find the back of the net again. Montpellier managed only a single late shot on goal and struggled to impose their game plan against the dominant hosts. The final score reflected Barcelona’s complete control of the match.
