Who else scored for Barcelona?

Clàudia Pina scored Barcelona’s third goal in the 75th minute, just 10 minutes after coming on as a substitute. She tapped in the ball after Caroline Graham Hansen crossed it in from the wing.

Barcelona’s fourth, an own goal from Villarreal defender Lara Mata, came in the 85th minute.

Boycott of the Spanish national team

León and Pina are among the 15 Spanish players currently boycotting the national team.

They emailed the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to claim that coach Jorge Vilda was impacting their “emotional state”.

The RFEF claimed the players had threatened to resign from the national team if Vilda was not dismissed.

But the players later protested this was not the case, and they were disappointed the RFEF had made their “private communication” public.

“In no case have we resigned from the Spanish national team as the RFEF points out in their official statement,” they said.

But they admitted they had asked not to be called up because of “situations that affect our emotional and personal state, our performance, and consequently the results of the national team”.

Patri Guijarro, Mariona Caldentey, Aitana Bonmatí and Sandra Paños are the other Barcelona players involved in the boycott.

They have been supported by Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan, two of the most successful football stars from the US.
