The Blaugrana were unstoppable in their first preseason friendly

Barcelona’s women scored 17 times as they kicked off preseason with a rout against Elche on Wednesday.

Jonathan Giráldez has replaced Lluis Cortes as coach but not much else has changed as Barca’s treble winners picked up where they left off last season.

It took just 11 minutes for Barca to open the scoring and the game ended there.

Claudia Pina opened the scoring and went on to score a first half hat-trick, with Alexia netting a brace and Bartel and Crnogorcevic also on target as Barca led 7-0 at the break.

Giráldez made changes at the break but it didn’t slow Barca down. Bruna soon added the eighth and then there were goals for Graham Hansen, Aitana and Mingueza before Bruna completed her own hat-trick.

Mariona also added a double and there were also goals for Maria Molina and Melanie Serrano as Barca ran wild.

Barcelona are next in action when they host Juventus in the Joan Gamper Trophy on Sunday.
