That remains to be seen, Barca do have very, very good players though.

Potentially - one of Barcelona's best prospects at just 20, very good on the ball in a way we have missed since Ji So-yun. She's not as good as Leupolz defensively though, which given the profile of our midfield stocks might be an issue.

Nah, we’ve got Erin Kante to do all that defensive stuff.

Zinedinerin Cuthbert is much better making fools out of goalkeepers from range, IMO. I think Cuthbert was unleashed when Leupolz/Ingle sat back and allowed her to run the midfield box to box. Dunno if she'll get that freedom playing alongside Bartel.
