Barcelona’s all-conquering women’s team are just a week away from the much anticipated UEFA Women’s Champions League Final against Lyon, but they have some league perfection business to take care of.
After winning their first 28 games of the season, Barça Femení traveled to Rayo Vallecano last week looking to become the first women’s team in Spanish football history to start the season with 29 wins in a row.
But things didn’t start well: a first-half penalty and a red card for Ingrid Engen left Barça behind in the score and down a body, but this team is just special: 10-women Femení are still better than pretty much every other team in the sport, and they scored six unanswered goals, including a hat-trick by the amazing Aitana Bonmatí, to win their 29th straight in sensational fashion.
