Champions Look to Go 13 Points Clear After Real Madrid Slip-Up
FC Barcelona Femení travels to Murcia this Sunday to face Alhama CF in Matchday 16 of Liga F. Following Real Madrid’s shock defeat to Athletic Bilbao, the Blaugrana have a golden opportunity to extend their lead at the top to a staggering 13 points, effectively putting one hand on the trophy.
Fresh off a 5-0 thrashing of Atlético Madrid, Pere Romeu’s side is in ruthless form. However, with the Spanish Women’s Super Cup looming next week, rotation is expected as the coach looks to manage the minutes of his world-class stars.

Barcelona is likely to field a heavily rotated side, giving a platform to the next generation of La Masia stars like Clara Serrajordi and Vicky López, while still leading the line with the clinical Ewa Pajor.
FC Barcelona Predicted XI:
Gemma Font; Aicha Camara, Laia Aleixandri, Irene Paredes, Carla Julia Martinez; Clara Serrajordi, Kika Nazareth, Vicky López; Sydney Schertenleib, Alba Caño, Ewa Pajor.
