❌ Aitana Bonmatí out for Champions semi-final first leg v Bayern
In the final stretch of her recovery, the Ballon d’Or winner will not be able to travel to Munich with the rest of the team.
FC Barcelona Femení already know the players selected for the first leg of the Women’s Champions League semi-finals against Bayern Munich. And the big news — and the most significant blow to Pere Romeu’s plans — is the absence of Aitana Bonmatí.
The current Ballon d’Or holder has not managed to recover from her physical discomfort in time and will miss the first clash on German soil, now focusing her efforts on being available for the return leg at Spotify Camp Nou.
Despite the absence of the Sant Pere de Ribes native, the Blaugrana squad travels with its ambition intact and a fully reliable group. The squad list is marked by the presence of key figures such as Mapi León and Irene Paredes, who will lead the back line.
In midfield, the creative responsibility will fall to Alexia Putellas and Patri Guijarro, who arrives in perfect condition despite suffering a knock with the Spanish national team during the last FIFA window.
The match will be played this Saturday, April 25, at 18:15, and Barça will look to put the tie on track as they dream of reaching their sixth consecutive final.
