Salma, Aitana and Graham Hansen: Barça Women's ultimate weapon for Europe

Barça Women have completed their squad just in time for the most important match of the Champions League group stage. The return of Salma Paralluelo, third in the last Ballon d'Or, returns a key player to the Blaugrana team for the anticipated final for first place against Manchester City.

In a demanding match against Hammarby, played in Stockholm, the Blaugranas achieved a hard-fought 0-3 victory. Beyond the result, the best news was the return of Salma after four months of absence. The Spanish forward, who came on in the 80th minute, replacing Fridolina Rolfö, she has completed a delicate recovery process to overcome the discomfort in her left knee.

Coach Pere Romeu will now be able to count on a star-studded team for the decisive match against Manchester City, who lead the group with a three-point advantage. The sixth matchday at the Estadi Johan Cruyff will be key to deciding who will take first place.

Paralluelo's return comes at a key moment for the team, which now has all its offensive arsenal at its disposal. With a midfield made up of Aitana Bonmatí and Keira Walsh, and a dream attack with Graham Hansen, Salma and Ewa Pajor, Barça Women are seen as one of the favourites to retain the Champions League.
