On 11 September, Barcelona were supposed to play the first league match of the season against Levante Las Planas.

As no match officials arrived, they waited for the required half hour before the game was officially called off; like others, the match was postponed after the referee and match officials did not show up to the venue as part of a strike asking for higher wages from the Royal Spanish Football Federation.[51][52] On 15 September 2022, a deal was reached between the parties to end the strike, which paved the way for the league season to start.

On 20 November, Barcelona took a powerful win, defeating Deportivo Alavés 8–0. Clàudia Pina scored twice, with Asisat Oshoala, Fridolina Rolfö, Mapi León, Salma Paralluelo, Ana-Maria Crnogorčević and Geyse Ferreira each contributing to the victory. It was also León's 200th official match with the club,[105] and the first appearance for Bruna Vilamala after over a year of recuperation for an injury she suffered on 25 October 2021; León scored and Vilamala provided the assist for the last goal.[106]
On 21 November, the 10th edition of the Gala de les Estrelles del Futbol Català (Catalan Football Stars Gala) was held by the Catalan Football Federation at the Old Factory Estrella Damm (Antigua fábrica Damm), in Barcelona, for football and futsal in Catalonia.

They maintained their perfect streak, with the goals coming from Geyse Ferreira, Aitana Bonmatí and Clàudia Pina.[109][110][111] Pina's goal, scored in the 66th minute from outside the box, was chosen as the Goal of the Week for matchday 3 of the Champions League group stage, it was also later chosen as the Goal of the Group Stage.[112][113][114][115]

However, on 7 December, the team suffered their first defeat of the season and their first competitive defeat since 21 May 2022 (the 1–3 loss against Olympique Lyonnais that saw them come second in the 2022 UEFA Women's Champions League final). Playing Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena, Barcelona again lost 1–3, with their goal coming from Geyse Ferreira. This defeat ended the fourteen-match undefeated and winning streak across all competitions that the team had enjoyed since the start of the season. Despite the defeat and being equal with Bayern Munich on points, Barcelona remained first in Group D, because they had better head-to-head goal difference against Bayern and better goal difference overall.[123][124][125]
On 10 December, Barcelona bounced back from the setback with a 4–0 win against Alhama, with Clàudia Pina, Salma Paralluelo, Bruna Vilamala and Asisat Oshoala getting on the scoresheet.[126][127]
In the 2022 edition of the International Federation of Football History & Statistics Women's Awards, Alexia Putellas won the Player of the Year award for a record second time. She also won the Playmaker of the Year award for the second time, with teammates Keira Walsh and Aitana Bonmatí placing third and fourth respectively.[128][129]
On 15 December, Barcelona saw themselves through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, with a 6–2 away win against Benfica. Goals were scored by Irene Paredes, Clàudia Pina, Aitana Bonmatí, Ana-Maria Crnogorčević, and Mariona Caldentey, and an own goal was scored by Benfica defender Ana Seiça. Pina's goal, scored in the second additional minute before half-time (45+2') from just outside the edge of the box, was chosen as the Goal of the Week for matchday 5 of the Champions League group stage.[130] Barcelona goalkeeper Sandra Paños saved two penalty kicks during the match, both near the close of the game and each by correctly diving in a different direction.[131][132][133][134]
The Marca Women's Sports Awards Gala was held on 19 December 2022, at the Old Factory Estrella Damm (Antigua fábrica Damm), in Barcelona, recognizing the best football players and athletes of the previous season.

Having already made it out of the Champions League group stage, Barcelona faced Rosengård, who were already eliminated, at home at the Camp Nou on 21 December, for their last match of the year. Realistically only needing to win to top the group, Barcelona went up in the first ten minutes and continued to dominate, winning 6–0, including a brace from Asisat Oshoala and a free kick from the edge of the box from Mapi León, the rest of the goals came from Fridolina Rolfö, Marta Torrejón and Irene Paredes. Rolfö's goal, scored in the 47th minute, was chosen as the Goal of the Week for matchday 6 of the Champions League group stage.[139] In this match, Barcelona broke the record for the most goals scored by a women's team in the group stages of the Champions League, scoring 29 goals and beating last years record of 25 goals set by PSG. The match was attended by 28,720 fans, making it the second highest attended match of the season, and brought the total attendance of all the matches played at Camp Nou throughout the year to 258,888 spectators.

January
[edit]On 7 January 2023, Barcelona got their first win of the new year, and their thirteenth consecutive win in the league, by defeating Sevilla at home 4–0. The goals were scored by Asisat Oshoala, Clàudia Pina and Salma Paralluelo, who took a brace after coming on as a substitute.[148][149]
With the team having a packed schedule in January, there were ten changes to the starting line-up for the next match, a Copa de la Reina tie against second division team Osasuna on 10 January, only Keira Walsh being retained and several of the B team called up. Barcelona won 9–0 away, with Bruna Vilamala scoring the first hat-trick of the season, Aitana Bonmatí and Salma Paralluelo each netting two goals, and Geyse Ferreira and Mariona Caldentey also adding to the tally.[150][151] During the match, a coach mentioned on social media that Geyse had been sent off in the Copa de la Reina at the end of the previous season, while playing for Madrid CFF, and had no prior opportunity to serve the match suspension; Osasuna announced later in the day that they would appeal the match result.[152]
On 12 January, the shortlists for The Best FIFA Football Awards were announced: Aitana Bonmatí, Alexia Putellas, and Keira Walsh were nominated for The Best FIFA Women's Player (which Putellas won the previous year); Sandra Paños was nominated for The Best FIFA Goalkeeper; and Salma Paralluelo was nominated for the FIFA Puskás Award, though for a goal she scored against Barcelona while playing for Villarreal. Jonatan Giráldez was considered a notable omission from the coach shortlist.[153][154]
On 14 January, Barcelona got a comfortable 3–0 win away against Sporting de Huelva, making it the season's fourteenth consecutive league win in as many matches. Asisat Oshoala scored twice and Mariona Caldentey scored once.[155][156]
The middle of January saw contract extensions for the club's Norwegian players: forward Caroline Graham Hansen signed until 30 June 2026 on 16 January,[157] with midfielder Ingrid Engen signing until 30 June 2025 the next day.[158]
On 19 January, Deloitte published their Deloitte Football Money League, including women's teams for the first time. Barcelona femení ranked as number one in women's football, having generated €7.7 million in the previous season, largely from marketing and advertising. Deloitte also noted the growing importance of transfer fees in the revenue of women's teams.[159] Barcelona started their Supercopa defense against Real Madrid on 19 January 2023, in the second Women's Clásico of the season, which they won 3–1 after extra-time, advancing to the final thanks to goals from Clàudia Pina, Mariona Caldentey and Salma Paralluelo.[160][161][162] In the final on 22 January 2023, they faced Real Sociedad. Barcelona won 3–0, with two goals from Aitana Bonmatí and another in added time from Asisat Oshoala. With the victory, Barcelona became the only club to win the Supercopa three times; the match also saw them achieve their 100th goal of the season across all competitions.[163][164][165][166]
During the winners' ceremony after the match, spectators noted that both teams were made to collect their medals from tables on the pitch; nobody from the RFEF presented Barcelona with their champions' cup; and it took some time before an official gave Aitana her MVP trophy.[167] A video of the players collecting their own medals quickly went viral in Spain,[168] and some media reported that the RFEF officials did not want to give the teams a reception as they both have multiple players in "the 15" who are in dispute with the RFEF over the conditions of the Spanish women's national team.[167] The RFEF responded that it was protocol to have players collect their own medals in both the men's and women's Supercopas; journalists and social media pointed out that when the men's final had been played earlier in the month in Riyadh, RFEF president Luis Rubiales awarded medals to each player on a stage. The RFEF said that the pitch selected for the women's final was too "old and small" to make it easy for officials to go to the pitch, or for all players to fit in the box. The medal protocol had not been explained to the teams before the match, with the RFEF noting that they had not asked. While Barcelona coach Jonatan Giráldez said he had not noticed his players be disappointed; that he did not find anything unusual with the lack of ceremony because the women's team has always had such treatment; and he accepted the protocol explanation, he still felt that the RFEF should have found a way to give them a proper medal ceremony.[168] The Association of Spanish Footballers (AFE) criticised the RFEF, saying that the teams were undervalued during their celebration and were victims of discrimination, accusing the RFEF of not promoting women's football, a heated issue in Spain at the time.[168][169]
After receiving the Copa de la Reina match complaint from Osasuna, the RFEF handed out its first judgment on 24 January. Despite Barcelona's dominant win, and while accepting that they did not list Geyse's suspension on their website, the RFEF disqualified Barcelona's result in the match (as a knock-out match, the technical loss would see them expelled from the tournament) and fined them €1,001 (in application of article 79, sections 1 and 2. b), of the Disciplinary Code of the RFEF). The RFEF handed the same judgment to Sevilla, who also fielded a suspended player in their Copa de la Reina match on the same day, which also was not listed by the RFEF. While another system did show the suspensions in the match results from the previous season, the match results can only be viewed by the clubs involved, and Geyse had moved club. The teams were given 10 days to appeal the verdict; Barcelona said that they will and, "should the sanction not be revoked on appeal, FC Barcelona will take every possible action, as it is considered that the line-up ended up being deemed ineligible due to technicalities in this case."[152][170][171]
On 25 January, Barcelona won their 50th consecutive league match in defeating Levante Las Planas 7–0; Asisat Oshoala scored the season's second hat-trick, with Ana-Maria Crnogorčević taking a brace, and a goal each being scored by Mariona Caldentey and Vicky López. In doing so, Vicky became Barcelona's youngest ever first-team goal-scorer, at just 16 years, 5 months and 27 days (16 years, 183 days).[55][56][172] FIFA had reported at the start of 2023 that the team could become the first football team (men's or women's) in history to achieve 50 consecutive league victories, having surpassed Lyon's 46-win record at the end of 2022;[173][156][174][175] though Barcelona achieved the FIFA-certified record,[176] the Arsenal women reached a record 51 consecutive league victories in the pre-professional era.[177][178][179] Arsenal also achieved a 108-unbeaten run,[178] (the FIFA record for this is held by the Steaua București men's team, with 104).[180][181] Hat-trick scorer Oshoala has previously played for Arsenal.[182]
On 26 January, the team's Swedish forward Fridolina Rolfö extended her contract until 30 June 2026.[183] On the same day, the International Federation of Football History & Statistics released its ranking of the Women's World Best Club for 2022, updating its criteria to use performance data from both domestic and international competitions, as they used for the men's club ranking, rather than a vote. Barcelona femení was ranked first as the best women's club in the world, with 738 points, nearly 200 points clear of second place.[184] The next day, defender Irene Paredes extended her contract until 30 June 2025.[185]
On 29 January, Barcelona beat Granadilla Tenerife 6–0 away. Clàudia Pina, Aitana Bonmatí and Lucy Bronze all contributed to the win with one goal each, while Asisat Oshoala got her second hat-trick of the season just four days after her first, achieving two hat-tricks in two consecutive matches.[186][187] The first five goals were scored in the first half, with Bronze's coming at 90+2' just before the match ended.[188] It was the 100th Barcelona match for Ana-Maria Crnogorčević.[189]
On 31 January, at the end of the winter transfer window, Barcelona signed Italian midfielder Giulia Dragoni, to join the B side. She became the first non-Spanish female player to join La Masia.[190][191]
February
[edit]On 1 February, Barcelona achieved their 52nd consecutive league win by defeating Valencia 4–0 away, overtaking Arsenal's 51, to hold the absolute longest league winning streak in football.[177][192]
On 2 February, FC Barcelona was awarded an Enderrock Catalan music award on behalf of its first football teams. Through the partnership with Spotify, the club had helped popularise Catalan music, including by promoting local artists and playing their music at matches.[193]
On 5 February, Barcelona defeated Real Betis 7–0. One goal each was scored by Geyse Ferreira, Clàudia Pina, Mariona Caldentey and Keira Walsh, in her first goal for the club, with another hat-trick for Asisat Oshoala, her third hat-trick in 11 days. Fridolina Rolfö took a hat-trick of assists, providing for Pina and Oshoala's first and second.[194][195][196][197]
The draw for the Champions League knockout stages was held on 10 February at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, with the full bracket to the final announced. As Barcelona finished top of their group, they were one of four seeded teams. Barcelona were drawn against debutants Roma in the quarter-final; it was soon announced that the first leg of the tie, with Roma at home, will be played at Stadio Olimpico on 21 March, with the second leg to be played at Camp Nou on 29 March. The winner on aggregate will advance to the semi-finals, where they will face the winner of the tie between Chelsea and Lyon.[198][199]
On 11 February, Barcelona defeated Deportivo Alavés 4–0 away, in what was their last match of February ahead of the international break. Goals were scored by Asisat Oshoala, Aitana Bonmatí and Clàudia Pina, and an own goal was scored by Deportivo Alavés' defender Osinachi Ohale.[200][201]
The FIFA FIFPRO Women's World Squad was announced on 13 February, with eight Barcelona players making the 23-player list: Sandra Paños was one of three goalkeepers; Lucy Bronze, Mapi León and Irene Paredes were among the seven defenders; and Aitana Bonmatí, Caroline Graham Hansen, Alexia Putellas, and Keira Walsh made up over half of the midfield. From the World Squad, a World XI is set to be announced at the end of the month, along with the winner of The Best FIFA Women's Player.[202][203]
On 20 February, Aitana Bonmatí received the Barça Players Award for the second consecutive time, awarded by the FC Barcelona Players Association in recognition of her fair play during the previous season.[204] This same day the nominations for the Laureus World Sports Awards were announced: Alexia Putellas was nominated for Sportswoman of the Year for the second consecutive year.[205][206] On 21 February, goalkeeper Cata Coll extended her contract until 30 June 2026,[207] with forward Clàudia Pina extending her contract to the same date on 22 February.[208]
Also on 22 February, defender Bronze and midfielder Walsh won the 2023 Arnold Clark Cup, retaining it for England.[209]
On 27 February, the ceremony for The Best FIFA Football Awards 2022 was held in Paris. Out of the eight Barcelona players shortlisted for the FIFA FIFPRO Women's World 11, four of them were included in the 2022 FIFPRO World 11: Lucy Bronze (in her fifth appearance), Mapi León, Keira Walsh and Alexia Putellas.[210][211][212] With four players, Barcelona was the joint-most represented team on the list (along with the England women's national team).[213] Putellas also won the 2022 award for The Best FIFA Women's Player,[214][215] taking the title for the second consecutive year.[216] Barcelona extended their lead as the club with the most The Best Women's Player awards, with three, following Putellas' win the year before and Lieke Martens' win in 2017. No other club has won it more than once.[217][218]
March
[edit]On 5 March, following the international break, Barcelona defeated Villarreal 5–0 to achieve their 50th consecutive league win under Jonatan Giráldez (out of 50).[219][220] Asisat Oshoala and Salma Paralluelo scored one goal each. Norwegian forward Caroline Graham Hansen came on in the 65th minute after four months out with injury, scoring a hat-trick.[221] Jana Fernández also made her first appearance after over a year of recovery following an injury she suffered on 14 February 2022. Aitana Bonmatí recorded a hat-trick of assists, providing for Paralluelo and Graham Hansen's first and second goals.[222][223] Before the match, the four winners of The Best were presented with their trophies on the pitch, sharing them with the fans.[224] Later in the day, they received the same ovation at the Camp Nou before the men's match against Valencia.[225]
Spain's court of arbitration for sport dismissed Barcelona's appeal to be reinstated in the Copa de la Reina on 10 March. Without reviewing the case, it upheld the sanction, which had also been upheld by the appeals committee. Though the last avenue of sporting appeal, Barcelona would still be able to challenge the decision in a legal court, which Catalan state broadcaster CCMA suggested they may choose to do for precedent.[226][227]
On 11 March, Barcelona beat Levante 4–0 away, with Aitana Bonmatí scoring two goals, while Clàudia Pina and Fridolina Rolfö scored one goal each.[228][229]
On 17 March, the team continued their winning streak with a 5–1 comeback victory against Valencia. Both Fridolina Rolfö and Salma Paralluelo scored braces and Marta Torrejón scored one goal,[230] with Aitana Bonmatí taking another hat-trick of assists.[231] Cata Coll made her first appearance after over a year of recovery following injury, coming on towards the end of the match. The team came close to breaking their own league record of minutes played without conceding a goal, which was achieved during the 2020–21 season and stood at 962 minutes, but an early concession prevented this by five minutes.[232]
On 21 March, Barcelona took a narrow 1–0 away victory against Roma in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-finals tie with a goal from Salma Paralluelo, in front of a record Italian women's club football attendance of 39,454 spectators at the Stadio Olimpico.[233][234][235]
On 25 March, the team defeated Real Madrid 1–0 in their third El Clásico of the season, taking their winning streak against Real Madrid to 11 in as many matches across all competitions.[236][237] Fridolina Rolfö converted a penalty in the 77th minute to give the team the win in front of a new all-time record attendance at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, with 5,569 spectators attending the match.[238]
Barcelona ended the month with a 5–1 victory over Roma in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals tie on 29 March, advancing to the semi-finals of the Champions League for the fifth consecutive season. 54,667 spectators attended the match, the third-highest attendance in the competition's history. The first, second, and previous third-highest attendances were also for Barcelona matches.[239][240] Mapi León's goal scored in the 33rd minute from outside the box, was chosen as the Goal of the Week for the 2nd legs of the quarter-finals of the Champions League quarter-finals.[241][242]
April
[edit]On the second day of the new month, Barcelona beat Alhama 2–0 away.[243] Caroline Graham Hansen scored the team's 100th goal in the league, with the second an own goal scored by Alhama midfielder Lucía Martínez.[244] Barcelona achieved more than 100 goals in the league for the fourth time in its history and the third consecutive season.[245]
During the international break, on 6 April, Keira Walsh and Lucy Bronze of England, and Geyse of Brazil, contested the 2023 Women's Finalissima. England won after penalties, with Walsh being named player of the match, Bronze assisting England's goal, and Geyse nearly scoring from distance.[246][247]
After the international break, Barcelona achieved their 60th consecutive league win by defeating Atlético Madrid 4–0. A brace from Aitana Bonmatí, and goals from Vicky López and Caroline Graham Hansen, also helped the team register +100 goal difference in the league, scoring 105 goals and conceding only 5.[248][249]
On 22 April, Barcelona defeated Chelsea 1–0 away in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie, the goal scored in the fourth minute by Caroline Graham Hansen in front of 27,697 spectators at Stamford Bridge: a then-record crowd for a Women's Champions League attendance in the United Kingdom.[250][251][252] Graham Hansen was also named player of the match,[253] with the goal chosen as the Goal of the Week for the 1st legs of the semi-finals.[254] Five days later, the return leg of the semi-final took place on 27 April at Camp Nou in front of a crowd of 72,262 spectators, the third-largest in the competition's history.[255] Barcelona were held to a 1–1 draw, their first draw of the season in all competitions, and advanced to the 2023 UEFA Women's Champions League final by winning the tie 2–1 on aggregate[256] for their third consecutive Champions League final appearance, and fourth appearance in the last five seasons. Caroline Graham Hansen again scored the team's only goal,[257] which was chosen as the Goal of the Week for the 2nd leg of the semi-finals,[258] with Aitana Bonmatí the player of the match.[257]
On 30 April, Barcelona became mathematically unbeatable in the league, winning it hours after the B team similarly won their league on points;[259] the C team had also won their league on points in the days before and were celebrated for their victory ahead of the first team match on this day.[260] The first team's league title was their fourth consecutive, and a record eighth victory; to achieve it, they beat Sporting de Huelva 3–0 in front of 5,289 supporters at Estadi Johan Cruyff.[261][262] Both Laia Codina and Jana Fernández scored their first goals of the season, with the final goal coming from Asisat Oshoala.[263] The team won the league with a perfect record for the second season, and achieved their 61st consecutive league victory.[264][265] The match also saw the return of Alexia Putellas to the pitch after her ACL injury in July 2022.[260][266] The team celebrated their win, the first with the league fully professional, at a beachside restaurant in Gavà, where Barcelona president Joan Laporta thanked the team for performing and their success throughout the season, and promised to continue investing in women's football.[267]
May
[edit]The team began May continuing their winning streak, beating Real Sociedad 5–2 away for their 27th consecutive victory in the 2022–23 league season, 62nd in total. Caroline Graham Hansen scored twice, with Patricia Guijarro, Asisat Oshoala and Aitana Bonmatí also getting on the scoresheet with a goal each.[268][269]
Comparatively, the team underperformed for the rest of the month, seeing out the league season with only one further victory from three games.[270][271] On 10 May, Barcelona were held to a 1–1 draw away against Sevilla, with Ana-Maria Crnogorčević scoring their only goal,[272] capping their winning run at 62.[273] It was also the team's first league draw in nearly three and a half years.[274] Having ended their record run for consecutive victories in a top-flight league, the team managed to continue their unbeaten run through this game[271] and the next, a 3–0 victory over Athletic Club in Barcelona's last home game of the season on 13 May. Goals were scored by Caroline Graham Hansen, Irene Paredes and Salma Paralluelo.[275]
The team took part in a joint league victory celebration, with the men's first team, on 15 May; thousands of fans filled the streets of Barcelona as the teams rode open top buses on a victory parade from the Camp Nou to the Arc de Triomf lasting three hours.[276][277]
In the last league game of the season on 21 May, Barcelona's unbeaten run of 64 games came to an end, with the team losing 1–2 away to Madrid CFF, a team they had defeated 7–0 at the start of the season.[270][278][279] The start of their record run had been 719 days – just short of two years – prior, when they lost to Atlético Madrid on 1 June 2021.[280][281] After going 2–0 down, Alexia Putellas scored the team's consolation goal a minute after being substituted on in the second half; it was her first goal since she returned from injury and her first Barcelona goal in nearly a year, since 29 May 2022.[282][283]
June 2023
[edit]On 3 June, Barcelona achieved a comeback victory against VfL Wolfsburg in the Champions League final at Philips Stadion in the Netherlands, winning 3–2 in front of 33,147 fans — a record crowd for a women's game in the Netherlands. This was Barcelona's second Champions League title, seeing them end the season with a continental treble.[8][284][285][286] The match started badly for the Blaugrana, conceding a goal in the third minute;[287] in the rest of the first half, Barcelona started to dominate the match, creating but not completing chances. Wolfsburg were more clinical, and scored another goal shortly before half time.[9][288] Barcelona's dominance continued in the second half, with more composure in front of goal: Patri Guijarro scored two goals in two minutes (48', 50') to level the scores within five minutes of being back on the pitch.[10][289] Barcelona maintained control for the remainder of the game, with Fridolina Rolfö scoring the match-winning third goal for the team in the 70th minute.[290][291] Patri Guijarro was named Player of the Match.[292]
The next day, they received a formal reception at the Generalitat de Catalunya, the first time women had received this honour.[293]
