Barcelona
There are certain rivalries in sports that ignite more than passion, a feeling or sentiment similar to disgust. But that feeling or sentiment similar to disgust is what keeps us entertained for 90 minutes on a football pitch even from the stands, more intent on beating the opponent than one would in war. And for Spanish giants FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, “El Clásico” has been around before my grandparents and yours.
We’ve made it to a new year. New goals, new challenges, new competition, new trophies. And for Barcelona Femeni, this superstar team is no stranger to Copa de la Reina, “the Queen’s Cup”. Held annually and hosted by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Copa de la Reina is a playoff style elimination competition between clubs in Spain from different divisions of leagues.
With a tumultuous schedule in place for FC Barcelona Femeni’s 2023-2024 season, players finding time and energy for international competition with their respective countries is both extravagant and exhausting, basking in the ruthlessness and radiance of representing one’s nation while on a strenuous set up. In the case of England’s Keira Walsh and Lucy Bronze (pictured above), who have been starting most matches for undefeated club Barcelona, both participants desire global domination for England’s Lionesses, who most recently fell to Spain in the Women’s World Cup final this summer.
Yes, you can have it all. Dream car. Dream house. Dream spouse. For some, wishing upon a star is enough. For others, hard work and dedication don’t bluff. In the case of FC Barcelona Femeni player Aitana Bonmatí, a golden ball was the reward for her record-breaking and ridiculous 2022/2023 season as a footballer.
