Aussie Alanna Kennedy, who had been hooked at halftime during City's home loss at Everton in the Women's Super League three days earlier, again looked at sea at the back as City's defence got run ragged by the defending European champions, who scored through Claudia Pina and then their two Ballon d'Or winners, Aitor Bonmati and Alexia Putellas in Spain.
New blow for Mary Fowler as Football Australia comments on her Matildas break with boyfriend Nathan Cleary Mary Fowler and her Manchester City teammates have hit a rough patch, going down 3-0 to European champions Barcelona in the Women's Champions League.
City's defence had looked like an accident waiting to happen as Kennedy three times gave the ball away before her failure to clear her ranks a fourth time gifted the ball straight to Pina, who put Barca ahead just before the break.
City were then guilty of gifting the ball away again in the 57th minute, their sluggish rearguard again being picked off by Bonmati, who raced through and nutmegged busy keeper Khiara Keating with a low left-foot finish.
