Claudia Florentino, a Real Madrid player for the last three years, was the main protagonist despite herself of the duel between Barça and Valencia. The central defender scored two goals in her own goal in the first 21 minutes and decided the match in favor of the Blaugranas.

Despite the fact that the match was doomed, Barça sought to widen the gap to be able to finish the day as leaders. Mapi León and Engen jumped onto the field and between them was fourth, awarded to the center by centimeters.
In the preview, Alexia Putellas was honored for adding 400 games with the Barça shirt, a milestone for the captain, with many good games still to offer. The double Ballon d’Or winner had a score pending with the goal after missing a penalty against Sporting Huelva and managed to get even by scoring the fifth from eleven meters.
The sixth, the most exquisite of all, came after a free kick masterfully taken by Marta Torrejón. The ball cleared the cobwebs from the Valencia goal corner. The party was round for the almost 3,000 spectators of Johan Cruyff and Barça, new leader
