Barcelona’s all-conquering women’s team returned to action after the international break with their Copa de la Reina debut away to Rayo Vallecano in Madrid. The defending champions are hoping to win the Cup again in their quest for a historic repeat Treble, and they confirmed their favorite status in the Round of 16 on Wednesday.
It wasn’t a vintage performance by any means, with the team somewhat struggling at times with so many players having just come back from their international commitments. But Barça still showed their superiority and got the goals from their best players: Jenni Hermoso had a brace, and Alexia Putellas added a third in what was a comfortable 3-1 win in the end.
