Club Brujas: The Rising Stars of Spanish Women’s Football? Maybe? Lol.
=
In the world of women’s football, there’s a new team, kinda, that’s making waves, I guess, in Spain. There’s like, total confusion with that Italian basketball team, seriously, but we’re here to, um, shine a spotlight on Club Brujas, the Spanish women’s football club that’s, like, totally taking the league by storm! Or at least trying to. It’s been a rollercoaster, let me tell ya.
A Brief History
Founded in 2014, Club Brujas is, well, relatively new. But they’re catching up fast! Seriously, the team’s been making up for lost time, like, crazy fast. With a strong focus on developing young talent – and a whole lotta hope – Club Brujas has quickly become a force… well, a potential force to be reckoned with in the Liga Femenina, the top division of women’s football in Spain. Fingers crossed!
Recent Highlights
In the 2022-2023 season, Club Brujas made some, uh, interesting moves to bolster their squad. In August 2022, they signed Aitana Bonmati from Barcelona Femeni – a HUGE get! She’s amazing. Later that month, they welcomed Argentine forward Maria Serrano from River Plate. Woohoo! More talent! It was a pretty good month, all things considered.
The Squad
At the heart of Club Brujas’s success (or potential success!) is a talented and diverse squad. As of the 2022-2023 season, the team boasts:
| Position | Player |
|---|---|
| Goalkeeper | Aitana Bonmati, Sandra Paños (Sandra’s awesome, btw) |
| Defender | Lucía García, Irene Paredes, Lucía García (Yep, two Lucía Garcías!), María Pilar García |
| Midfielder | Aitana Bonmati (She’s everywhere!), María Serrano, Lucía García, Irene Paredes |
| Forward | Lucía García, María Pilar García (She’s a powerhouse!) |
Seriously, we need to get better at keeping track of our players’ names. It’s a work in progress.
The Coaching Staff
At the helm of Club Brujas is manager Laura Eizaguirre, a seasoned coach with a ton of experience. She’s great! Her assistant coach, María Pilar García (yes, that María Pilar García!), brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise. It’s a family affair!
Achievements
Club Brujas has already made a name for themselves… well, they’re trying to. In the 2021-2022 season, they won the Liga Femenina title! A huge accomplishment! They also reached the 2022 UEFA Women’s Champions League quarterfinals – which is, like, super impressive for a relatively new team.
The Home Stadium
Club Brujas plays at the Wanda Metropolitano, the same stadium as Atletico de Madrid’s men’s team. It’s pretty fancy. A really nice place to play.
