London City Lionesses enter WSL campaign with unbeaten pre-season and star signings

During a summer tour of Portugal and Spain, London City Lionesses remained unbeaten, finishing with a 2-0 triumph over Sevilla at Estadio Jesús Navas, thanks to goals from Daniëlle van de Donk and Grace Geyoro. The matches also marked the debut of recent signings Mapi León and Alexia Putellas, whose experience is expected to lift the squad’s ceiling. Coach Eder Maestre praised the team's organized defending and the limited chances created by the opposition, while noting the importance of building chemistry among many new faces.

Players acknowledged early-game rust but felt the side improved after halftime. Looking ahead, the club faces a challenging opening fixture against Manchester United and must convert promising moments into consistent results in a league that appears increasingly unpredictable.
