Spotify Camp Nou fans silence Ona Batlle as she enters

At the Spotify Camp Nou, the Barça fans whistled at Ona Batlle when she came on in the 60th minute of the 1‑1 draw against Arsenal. The Catalan player, who had signed for Arsenal after leaving Manchester United, returned to Barcelona after ending her contract last summer.

Ona Batlle and Graham Hansen staged a fine duel in the second half, according to journalist Mario Ríos of LaPresse.

One of the big questions before Thursday's Barça‑Arsenal match was Batlle's presence in the lineup.

Return to Barcelona

The Catalan full‑back returned to Barcelona after ending her contract last summer, not renewing it and signing for the British side, heading back to England after Manchester United.

Jordi Batalla described the match as a 1‑1 where a combative Arsenal left Barça without a reply.

Sergi Solé indicated that the player from Vilassar de Mar missed the WSL round against Liverpool due to muscle soreness and arrived somewhat under‑strength for the duel against her former team.

She flew on Tuesday with the squad and today started from the bench behind Hinds and Fox, who began as starters.

When the second half began, Batlle started warming up and came on in the 60th minute, right after Graham Hansen's equaliser.

The Barça fans gave her a cold reception and she was booed as she entered the pitch, as @CompteCreatiu noted on their social media.

After the match, Champions shared a video of the full‑back greeting Sydney and Esmee Brugts, and affectionate gestures were seen with Pina and the Barça players.
