Ewa Pajor returns to training with Barcelona ahead of the 2025/26 season
Ewa Pajor, FC Barcelona Femení’s top scorer in the 2024/25 campaign, has officially returned to training with her teammates as the Catalan giants begin preparations for the upcoming season. Her return marks a crucial step in the squad’s preseason as they gear up for a competitive year both domestically and in Europe.
Early Return After Euro 2025 Elimination
The Polish international was among the first players back on the pitch after Poland’s early exit from the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, having been eliminated in the group stage. In contrast, several of Pajor’s teammates who represented Spain and other nations remain on extended breaks after reaching the latter stages of the tournament.
Barcelona’s full squad is expected to reunite in the coming days before embarking on a pre-season tour in Mexico, where the team will play two friendlies between August 19 and 25.
Pajor’s Role in Barça’s Ambitions
Pajor was instrumental in Barça’s domestic success last season, leading the scoring charts as the club secured both the Liga F title and the Copa de la Reina. However, the season ended on a sour note with a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in the UEFA Women’s Champions League Final, denying Barcelona back-to-back European titles.
With her return, Pajor is expected to be a focal point in Barcelona’s renewed push for continental glory, especially as rivals like Real Madrid strengthen significantly in the transfer market.
Barcelona’s Transfer Window: Minimal Incomings, Major Departures
Despite fan anticipation, Barcelona have had a relatively quiet summer. The club has confirmed only two new signings Martina Fernández and Laia Aleixandri while nine players have departed, including key figure Fridolina Rolfö.
The imbalance has raised concerns among supporters, particularly as Real Madrid continues an aggressive recruitment drive with targeted reinforcements.

What’s Next: Tour and League Opener
Barcelona’s pre-season tour in Mexico will serve as a final tune-up before their Liga F opener on August 31, when they host Alhama CF. With Pajor already back in action, all eyes will be on the returning stars to build early-season momentum.
