Barcelona Clinches Fifth Consecutive Liga F Title With Dominant Win

FC Barcelona Femeni

Barcelona secured their fifth consecutive Liga F title with a commanding 4-1 victory over Granada at the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes. The win saw Barcelona amass an impressive 76 points out of a possible 78 this season, with their only dropped points coming from a draw against Levante earlier in the campaign.

Goals from Lucy Bronze, Caroline Graham Hansen, and a brace from Fridolina Rolfö propelled the reigning champions to another comfortable win against Granada. Barcelona is now eyeing a historic quadruple, aiming to surpass their previous treble victories in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023.

The Catalan club has already clinched the Spanish Super Cup earlier this year and secured their ninth Liga F title in the club's history. They are set to compete in the finals of both the Champions League and the Copa de la Reina later this month.

Barcelona will face Lyon in the Champions League final on May 25 in Bilbao as they strive for back-to-back European titles and their third in four years. Despite previous losses to Lyon in the competition, Barcelona remains determined to emerge victorious this time.

Prior to the Champions League final, they will take on Real Sociedad in the Copa de la Reina final on May 18 in Zaragoza. Last season, Barcelona's hopes of a quadruple were dashed when they were disqualified from the Copa de la Reina for fielding an ineligible player.

This season marks the final campaign for coach Jonatan Giráldez before he transitions to lead NWSL side Washington Spirit this summer. Since taking over in 2021, Giráldez has guided Barcelona to three league titles and three Champions League finals, with an impressive record of just one defeat during his tenure.

Barcelona has claimed eight out of ten possible trophies under Giráldez's leadership, with two more opportunities for silverware remaining this month. The club's pursuit of a quadruple and continued success under Giráldez's guidance has solidified their status as a dominant force in women's football.
