Barça 5-0 Montpellier: Second preseason win

Onwards and upwards for Barça Women, who have defeated Montpellier 5-0 in a game the blaugranes controlled from start to finish. It was a good test to work on tactics and continue preparations to be 100% ready to start the season.

Strong start

Barça's preparations continued at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper as they welcomed Montpellier for a game that had a clear blaugrana flavour from the off, with Pere Romeu's side going 2-0 up in just 10 minutes.

First Esmee struck an unstoppable shot past Petiteau, before Ewa Pajor showed her talent with a great piece of individual play to also put past the visiting keeper (2-0, min. 11).

Ewa Pajor turns provider

The Polish forward then turned provider - first for Rolfö who made it 3-0 after 35 minutes, before setting up Bruna to score the fourth just before half time (min. 44). Rolfö then returned the favour after the break as Pajor showed her goalscoring prowess to complete her brace (5-0, min. 53).

Responding victory

The rest of the second half saw the blaugranes dominate. Pere Romeu's side had the chance to score another goal, but the ball wouldn't go in. Montpellier had their only shot on goal late in the game and found it difficult throughout to impose their game on the home side. Final score 5-0.
