London City's Star Studded Era Kicks Off: A Reality Check for the WSL The Barclays Women's Super League kicked off its new season with a bang, as London City Lionesses' 2 1 win over Manchester United marked not only the beginning of their star studded era but also a stark reminder of the chasm in standards between teams.
London City's presence of Alexia Putellas, a two time Ballon d'Or winner, drew in a sell out crowd at Hayes Lane Stadium. While she didn't score, her presence sent a message: London City is here to stay.
The midfielder was just one part of the fresh faces that impressed, with Rosa Kafaji, Mapi Leon, Putellas, and Janni Thomsen all making an impact.
