A clash of undefeated sides in a luxury setting. The headline fixture of Matchday 21 in LigaF Moeve will be Granada CF versus FC Barcelona at the Nuevo Los Cármenes stadium. Both teams can boast being unbeaten at the start of 2026. The Andalusians have secured 16 out of a possible 18 points this year, meaning five wins and one draw in six matches—the best run of results for the Nazarí side in the Primera División. Furthermore, the *rojiblancas* have only conceded one goal in those six fixtures. These numbers place them in 7th position in LigaF Moeve with 29 points, twenty clear of the relegation zone. Cristina Postigo and Linnéa Solvoll were unavailable for the last match.
For their part, FC Barcelona arrives at the fixture as the leader of LigaF Moeve with 57 points, having suffered only one defeat in twenty matchdays. Pere Romeu’s side has accumulated nine consecutive victories at the start of 2026 across all competitions, conceding only three goals. Moreover, during January, the *culé* team lifted the Supercopa de España. Cata Coll, Mapi León, Laia Aleixandri (who has an ACL injury), and Aitana Bonmatí are all expected to be unavailable for the game. Both teams have met seven times, with seven victories for the Catalans. The last meeting was in the first-round fixture, where goals from Claudia Pina and Kika Nazareth decided the match. Last season, the Nuevo Los Cármenes stadium was also opened to host the *blaugranas*, attracting an attendance of 8,316 spectators.
The Climax of the ‘Love For The Colours’ Campaign
The match will serve to commemorate the ‘Amor Por Los Colores’ campaign, created once again by LigaF to champion the International Day Against Homophobia in Sport, which is celebrated on Thursday, February 19th. The clubs in LigaF Moeve joined the initiative during Matchday 20 (February 14th-15th), and will do so again during the Matchday 21 fixtures (February 21st-22nd). Players, coaches, technical staff, referees, media, and fans will wear rainbow flag laces and headbands, and the captains will wear personalised rainbow flag armbands. Additionally, various initiatives will take place at the Nuevo Los Cármenes stadium, including personalised seats to highlight the commitment to diversity for LGBTIQ+ people.
