The Blaugrana aim to extend their 10-point lead at the top, despite the absence of Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmatí.
FC Barcelona Femení returns to Estadi Johan Cruyff this Sunday to face Sevilla FC in Matchday 18 of Liga F. Following a flawless January which included a statement victory in El Clásico the Catalan giants are heavy favorites to continue their 11-game winning streak.
Team News: The Aitana Factor
The biggest talking point for the hosts is the absence of Aitana Bonmatí. The midfielder remains sidelined with a long-term injury (fibula fracture), forcing coach Pere Romeu to reshuffle his world-class midfield.
However, Barça’s squad depth remains unmatched. Alexia Putellas is expected to pull the strings in the center, supported by the clinical form of Ewa Pajor and Caroline Graham Hansen upfront.
Sevilla’s Steep Challenge
Sevilla arrives in Catalonia looking to cause a massive upset. Led by Rosa Márquez and the dangerous Andrea Álvarez, the Andalusian side will need a perfect defensive performance to stop a Barcelona attack that has looked unstoppable throughout 2026.
