A new season of Liga F starts this weekend in Spain; however, the reigning champion Barcelona only has 17 players currently registered to play. This summer, the 2024-25 UEFA Women's Champions League runner-up saw six players leave, including the puzzling departure of Fridolina Rolfo. Much of this can be attributed to the club's financial situation on the men's side, while the women remain the only profitable team within the organization.
The Athletic's writers Pol Ballus and Melanie Anzidei join host Jillian Sakovits to explain what's happening with the European giants and how cost-cutting is impacting the future of one of the best teams in the world.
PLUS: Get focused with Full Time's 1-2-3 of what to watch this Labor Day weekend, from a battle between the two most recent league champions to a return home for the Washington Spirit and a look at the Liga F season kickoff in Spain. And, ask yourself, "How far would you go for love?"
