Barcelona
drew 1-1 with Sevilla on Tuesday night, ending a remarkable run of 62
consecutive victories in the women's top flight.
Already
champions of Liga F for a fourth consecutive season, Jonatan Giraldez's side
tied with the Andalucians to snap a world record streak in both the women's and
men's games.
Ana-Maria
Crnogorcevic equalised in the 80th minute for Barcelona after Cristina
Martin-Prieto struck for Sevilla.
The Swiss
winger's goal helped the Catalans avoid a first league defeat since they were
beaten by Atletico Madrid in June 2021. Barcelona's winning run began after
that loss.
The
Champions League finalists secured the league title in April with a 3-0 win
over Huelva as Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas returned to action having
torn an Anterior Cruciate Ligament last summer.
Barcelona
have two league fixtures remaining as they aim to complete a second consecutive
unbeaten season, before facing German side Wolfsburg in the Champions League
final on June 3.
