The lions looking for more in Barcelona

Athletic Club Ladies team will measure itself against RCD Espanyol, currently at the bottom of the board, this Saturday, as the seventh day of the Primera Iberdrola feminine. The Catalans only got one point and had three consecutive defeats. In contrast, Villacampa managed to win the derby at the Reale Arena and overcome a rival as competitive as Real Betis adding two consecutive wins.

It will be a classic for women’s football, as the Catalan team is one of the most successful since it was founded in 1970. However, they are not as powerful as they used to be in the past, as the rest of the clubs have reinforced their ladies teams. Salvador Jaspe keeps leading the white-and-blue squad in a season of maximum demand in light of the difficult start to the league. The RCD Espanyol has a team good enough to even or surpass the ninth place achieved last season. Eli del Estal is their current reference point and a dangerous player, good at aerial shots.
