[80][81][82] On 27 October, Barcelona won their second consecutive group stage match of the season against Rosengård and claimed their seventh win in a row in all competitions with a 1–4 result.

[89][90][91] By the end of the month, the team's continued success without their injured players, especially Putellas, was praised, as was the incorporation of summer signings, particularly Bronze, Walsh and Geyse.

Clàudia Pina scored twice, with Asisat Oshoala, Fridolina Rolfö, Mapi León, Salma Paralluelo, Ana-Maria Crnogorčević and Geyse Ferreira each contributing to the victory.

Alexia Putellas was crowned as the Best Women's Catalan Player of the Year for a record fourth time; she received 51.2% of the jury votes and beat her teammate Aitana Bonmatí (46.3%) to the prize.

[112][113][114][115] Barcelona also set the record for the highest ever attendance for a Women's Champions League group stage game, and the fourth-highest of all Women's Champions League matches (the top two were also set at Camp Nou), with a record crowd of 46,967 spectators, even as the south stand was closed for renovation and a 2022 FIFA World Cup match was being played at the same time.

[123][124][125] On 10 December, Barcelona bounced back from the setback with a 4–0 win against Alhama, with Clàudia Pina, Salma Paralluelo, Bruna Vilamala and Asisat Oshoala getting on the scoresheet.

[130] Barcelona goalkeeper Sandra Paños saved two penalty kicks during the match, both near the close of the game and each by correctly diving in a different direction.

[137][138] Having already made it out of the Champions League group stage, Barcelona faced Rosengård, who were already eliminated, at home at the Camp Nou on 21 December, for their last match of the year.

Barcelona won 9–0 away, with Bruna Vilamala scoring the first hat-trick of the season, Aitana Bonmatí and Salma Paralluelo each netting two goals, and Geyse Ferreira and Mariona Caldentey also adding to the tally.

[163][164][165][166] During the winners' ceremony after the match, spectators noted that both teams were made to collect their medals from tables on the pitch; nobody from the RFEF presented Barcelona with their champions' cup; and it took some time before an official gave Aitana her MVP trophy.

Though the last avenue of sporting appeal, Barcelona would still be able to challenge the decision in a legal court, which Catalan state broadcaster CCMA suggested they may choose to do for precedent.

[232] On 21 March, Barcelona took a narrow 1–0 away victory against Roma in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-finals tie with a goal from Salma Paralluelo, in front of a record Italian women's club football attendance of 39,454 spectators at the Stadio Olimpico.
