Barcelona Femení wrapped up their preseason preparations for the upcoming 2025-26 season with a decisive 2-1 victory against Club América on August 24, 2025. This match marked the conclusion of their third consecutive preseason tour in Mexico, where the team showcased impressive performances.
Prior to facing Club América, Barcelona secured a win against the Liga MX All-Stars in a penalty shootout on Friday night. With these results, head coach Pere Romeu led his squad to a perfect record in all three preseason matches, including a prior victory over Badalona in the Copa Catalunya title game a week earlier.
The preseason was notably shorter than usual for Barcelona due to the participation of many players in the Women’s Euros during the summer. Nearly half of the squad reached the final with the Spain national team, which limited the time available for preparation. Despite this challenge, the Catalan club managed to adapt and perform well.
This summer has presented difficulties for Barcelona, as the club faced financial challenges that resulted in the departure of several key first-team players. As a result, the team will need to lean on their academy talents to navigate the upcoming season. The club aims to defend their domestic treble while also targeting a sixth consecutive UEFA Women’s Champions League final and striving for a fourth European title.
The young talents from the academy have shown promise during the tour, with 17-year-old midfielder Clara Serrajordi particularly standing out in the match against América. Her performance has raised expectations for the impact of younger players throughout the season.
Barcelona’s competitive campaign officially begins on Sunday, with their first match of the Liga F season against newly-promoted Alhama at the Johan Cruyff Stadium. As the team looks to build on their recent successes, all eyes will be on how they integrate their emerging talents into the squad.
