The 2008–09 season was the 21st for FC Barcelona Femení in official competition, and the 12th in the top flight of Spanish football. Returning to the top flight after one season in the national league, Barcelona finished in the top half of the league table as well as reaching the semi-finals of the Copa de la Reina de Fútbol.

Summary

[edit]

Ahead of the 2008–09 Superliga season, Barcelona was promoted to the league (the top flight) from the secondary Liga Nacional; they had been relegated in 2007 and reinforced their team going forwards, so were considered stronger than most newly-promoted teams and competition for Clásico rivals Atlético Madrid. Barcelona was expected to not only strive to stay in the league, but to aim for the top league positions and challenge for the Copa de la Reina.[1][2] Halfway through the season, they were comfortably in the top half of the league.[3]

The tactical play of the team was recognised,[1][2] with Mundo Deportivo comparing it directly to the style of the FC Barcelona men's team being newly implemented under Pep Guardiola and suggesting the women's team also benefitted from Guardiola being named manager of the men's team.[4]

Vicky Losada had left Barcelona when they were relegated, joining local rivals Espanyol, who remained in the top flight; when Barcelona were promoted after one season, Losada reached an agreement with Espanyol to terminate her contract.[5]

The team finished sixth in the Superliga, qualifying them to compete in the Copa de la Reina, in which they reached the semi-finals.[6] They were runners-up in the Copa Catalunya, losing in the final against Espanyol.[7]
