Pere Romeu, Barcelona Women's manager, reached a milestone of 100 victories in 109 matches with an 8-0 Champions League victory over HB Koge in Denmark. The 33-year-old has established himself as one of Europe's elite coaches, recently winning the Best Coach award at the Ballon d'Or ceremony.

Romeu's record speaks for itself: a 91.74% win rate, 449 goals scored, and only 55 conceded. In his first season as head coach (starting June 2024), he won La Liga, the Copa de la Reina, and the Supercopa de España, reaching the Champions League final which Barcelona lost to Arsenal. In the current campaign, he has reclaimed the European crown with a 4-0 victory over Olympique Lyon in the Oslo final, while retaining the domestic titles.

The Barcelona native began his journey with the club in 2017 in the youth academy, later working with players like Gavi. After a spell in Romanian football, he returned in 2021 as assistant to Jonatan Giráldez, learning the tactical foundations of one of women's football's most dominant teams. Since taking the helm, Romeu has also promoted 22 players from the academy to the senior squad, emphasizing Barcelona's commitment to developing homegrown talent.
