DBasia.news – Barcelona is criticized ahead of the preseason tour to the US due to how Blaugrana treated the women football team.
Barcelona become the first team who bring along the women football team during the preseason tour. Previously, there are no clubs doing that.
However, Barcelona’s decision is becoming a boomerang for them. Blaugrana didn’t treat the women football team as they should be.
The men football team were flying with the first class flight to the US. While the women football team were only on the economy class flight.
Before the flight, both of the teams’ captains were taking pictures in the first class of the flight. But in fact, the women football team of Barcelona were moving to the economy class.
This is revealed by one of the photos uploaded by the women football team player. In the post, they were sitting on the economy class.
Barcelona confirmed that their women football team were on the economy class. It is because they didn’t have the plan to bring along them.
That’s why Barcelona just rented a plane with 36 first class seats. The key player of the Barcelona women football team was okay with that.
“Barcelona back women’s football, but it’s something that can’t go straight from zero to 100,” said the key player of Barcelona women football team, Alexia Putellas.
“We are fortunate, keeping in mind the reality of Spanish women’s football. I wish we always went to places like this. Not long ago we had long journeys by car, which was bad,” she added.
Barcelona compensated their mistake. During the next flight from Portland to Los Angeles, the women football teams were on the first class.
