FC Barcelona opposition profile | FC Bayern Women
"In European women's football, FC Barcelona have long set the standard by which Europe's elite are measured. Three UEFA Women's Champions League titles in the last five years, as well as national dominance with impressive consistency: the Catalans are undoubtedly one of the continent's top teams. They play a precise, technically brilliant brand of football, carried by a natural footballing ability that is second to none."
"When FC Bayern Women get started in the new Champions League season on Tuesday night (21:00 CEST), they can expect a test at the highest level. A battle with a team who have defined women's football in recent years, and one that will show how close the German champions are to the European elite. fcbayern.com takes a look at the history of FC Barcelona Femení, the development of a flagship European project and the key players in the current squad."
"The origins of the modern FC Barcelona Femení go back to autumn 1970 - to a young woman with a brave idea and the firm belief that football shouldn't be an exclusively male privilege. The then 18-year-old Immaculada "Imma" Cabecerá, now known as the pioneer of women's football in Catalonia, convinced the Barça president at the time, Agustí Montal, to set up a women's team."
FC Barcelona Femení have won three UEFA Women's Champions League titles in the last five years and maintain national dominance with impressive consistency. The team plays a precise, technically brilliant brand of football driven by exceptional natural ability. FC Bayern Women will face a high-level test against Barcelona in the upcoming Champions League season, which will measure how close the German champions are to the European elite. The modern Barcelona women's team originated in autumn 1970 when 18-year-old Immaculada 'Imma' Cabecerá rallied players and obtained club support despite a national ban on women's football. Seventeen players responded and trained under former Barça player Antoni Ramallets.
