Xavi Llorens at the helm for another season
The FCB Women’s team start the season with the clear intention of defending the league and cup titles they won last year. In addition to these objectives, the team will focus on improving their performance in the Champions League. Xavi Llorens will manage the team once again, and he’ll be assisted by Berta Carles and Rosa Palomares. Before the season gets underway, however, the Barça players will participate in the prestigious Calais tournament. Barça’s first opponent will be the reigning champions of Europe, Wolfsburg.
