Barcelona Femeni lose first Liga game since 2021 as Alexia Putellas’ first goal in a year isn’t enough to prevent 64-game unbeaten run ending

• Another title wrapped up
• Two years since last league defeat
• Champions League final to come

WHAT HAPPENED? Another title triumph has already been wrapped up for 2022-23, but the Catalan outfit will not be boasting another ‘Invincibles’ tag. That is because they have suffered a shock 2-1 defeat away at Madrid CFF.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Barca completed the 2021-22 season unbeaten, with their last defeat coming way back in June 2021. Their record run of 62 wins in succession was ended last week in a 1-1 draw with Sevilla, and they have now come unstuck.

AND WHAT'S MORE: Barcelona Femini completed five games without defeat on the back of their last loss, before winning all 30 matches last term, and they steamrolled their way through their opening 27 games this term – with a fourth title in a row captured along the way.
