The 2021–22 season was the 34th season for FC Barcelona Femení. In addition to the domestic league, Barcelona played in that season's editions of the Copa de la Reina and UEFA Women's Champions League. Barcelona were coming off a successful 2020–21 campaign by being the first Spanish women's club to win the continental treble after winning the league, UEFA Women's Champions League, and Copa de la Reina. Grant Wahl has called the side one of the best women's club teams in history.[1]
Barcelona finished the season winning the domestic treble with a 100% win rate in 36 matches across all domestic competitions (league, cup, super cup), scoring 183 goals and conceding only 13 goals with a goal difference of +170.
Overall Barcelona won 45 of the 47 matches played across all competitions, scoring 221 goals and conceding 23 with a goal difference of +198. They lost only twice, both of which came in consecutive matches in the UEFA Women's Champions League knockout stages, losing 0–2 against Wolfsburg in the second leg of the semi-finals, but winning 5–3 on aggregate and getting through to the final.
In the final, Barcelona were defeated 1–3 by Lyon, with the team's only goal being scored by the captain Alexia Putellas. The team finished the season with a 96% win rate across all competitions along with a record 45-match winning streak that lasted from the first match of the season until the defeat against Wolfsburg in the UEFA Women's Champions League semi-finals second leg.
