Over the last five years Barcelona Femeni has established itself as a formidable presence, securing an impressive 12 trophies since the beginning of the 2019 season. Furthermore, the team’s success has translated not just into tremendous fan support, as seen by consistent match attendance, but also into exceptional shirt sales.
Notably, the popularity of Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmati, both Ballon d’Or winners, is underscored as they secure the fourth and fifth positions respectively in the top-five shirt sales rankings for the 2023-24 season. The leading trio includes Robert Lewandowski in first place, followed by Pedri and Gavi. Putellas has made over 280 appearances with Barcelona since 2012, scoring more than 130 goals, while Bonmati boasts over 160 appearances and 55 goals since joining in 2016.
Barcelona Femeni has played multiple matches at the same venue as the men’s team in recent years demonstrating the squad’s popularity as their outstanding results have led to the breaking of various attendance records. Specifically in 2022 the team set a record for the highest-ever attendance in a women’s game during the semi-final of the Women’s Champions League against Wolfsburg, securing a 5-1 victory.
Finally, it’s noteworthy that Barcelona Femeni sustains an unbeaten league record achieving only victories and an impressive goal difference of 41 after just 10 games, while they currently aim to establish themselves as a dominant force in women’s football.
