“The situation is critical.” Saint Pölten looked with fear into the eyes of the Almighty Barça. The current champion of the Champions League – and everything (League, Cup and Super Cup) – came his way at the worst, with a large number of injuries and a complicated situation, as her coach Celia Brancao warned. So much so that there were only four players left on their bench, two of them goalkeepers. A surreal situation that increased the Blaugranas’ favor.
Roto Pere, with six changes compared to the match against Atlético,y he showed again the different goals in his dressing room. Five different players scored the six goals that marked a new victory for their team. Five of them arrived in the first half of Barça’s excellence and a great rush that lasted less than fifteen minutes.
Ewa Pajor was responsible for opening the can after the first half hour of the game. Great individual action by Ona Batlle on the left, in the center and fired by the Pole to continue collecting goals as a Barca player. She was joined by another of last summer’s signings: Kika Nazaret.
From left to right. The Portuguese put a deflected ball into the net after some good play down the right. With the second, Barça stepped on the accelerator like someone who wants to go to half-time with their homework done. Aitana Bonmatí did not want to lose her job with the goal and, left-footed, she did not fail in another poor control by Schluter under the sticks. 3-0 and the feeling that the Barça team was completely overpowering the Austrians.
The correction at half-time was harsh: 5-0. The next two had magic. The fourth went to Keira Walsh and she went straight to the list of candidates for the best goal of the day. Right from the front. Strong and unstoppable for Schluter who was flagged for the previous goal and there was little he could do to prevent the result from getting worse, with a reward for Pina’s wickedness. The Catalan forward had a great game and was left wanting more.
In the second half the intensity was reduced, while Barça moved the bench and tied the result even more. Pina, with a penalty goal, added the sixth and, for the seventh, we had to wait until the last part of the game. Graham Hansen was one of the players who came off the bench.
The Norwegian teamed up with Patri Guijarro and finished perfectly to put the cherry on top of the game. With an opponent who stripped their substitutes for lack of personnel – they only made two substitutes, using the two outfield players available – Pere Romeu’s side secured their second straight win in the group stage with a total of 16 goals in two games. Next to nothing. They are the current champions and St. Pölten, who has not yet contributed to this round, is their new victim. A highly prized competitor who arrived shaking and began to chew on his case before the opening whistle was announced.
