Barça Femení's 80-game winning streak at Johan Cruyff Stadium ends
Jonatan Giráldez's team experiences first league draw since inauguration of iconic stadium
Barça Femení conceded their first league draw at the Johan Cruyff stadium in Sant Joan Despí since its inauguration, ending an 80-game winning streak.
The Catalan club dropped their first two points after a hard-fought match against Levante, currently third in Liga F, in which an early goal from Salma Paralluelo was later canceled out by Alba Redondo early in the second half.
Barcelona inaugurated the Johan Cruyff Stadium in 2019 with a match against CD Tacón and had not conceded a single point in La Liga until the match against Levante.
Although unexpected, the historic draw with Levante does not threaten their current position. They remain at the top of Liga F with a ten-point lead over second-placed Real Madrid.
The team, under the leadership of Jonatan Giráldez, faces a new challenge and a chance for redemption against another strong opponent, Atlético de Madrid, on Sunday at 1:30pm.
