Barça Femeni Crush Madrid 6-0 in Epic Clásico Rout – 12-2 Aggregate to Semis Glory!
Barcelona Femeni demolished Real Madrid 6-0 (12-2 agg) in the Women's Champions League to reach the semis against Bayern Munich, with Alexia Putellas marking her 500th appearance with a goal. Goals from Putellas, Graham Hansen (2), Paredes, Pajor, and Brugts lit up a packed Camp Nou. It's the third win over Madrid in nine days, underlining Barça's dominance.
Barça Women Make It Three in Nine Days: Madrid Routed Again
Picture this: Spotify Camp Nou rocking with 60,067 screaming fans, the first time in four years it's hosted the women's side. Barcelona Femeni didn't just turn up against Real Madrid – they steamrollered them 6-0 in the UEFA Women's Champions League, wrapping up a ridiculous 12-2 aggregate to book their semi-final spot. It was the third spanking in nine days, following a 6-2 first-leg demolition and a 3-0 league thumping. Madrid's dreams? Absolutely shattered.
Putellas Hits 500, Goals Fly In Early
Alexia Putellas, the two-time Ballon d'Or queen, marked her 500th game for Barça like only she can – rifling in the opener after just eight minutes. Reacting to a parried shot from Ewa Pajor, she slotted home her 230th Blaugrana goal. Talk about a milestone party!
The floodgates? Wide open. Caroline Graham Hansen, that Norwegian wizard, nodded in number two on 16 minutes from a pinpoint Putellas pass, then turned provider for Esther Paredes to make it 3-0 from a corner on 27'. Pajor, the summer signing on fire, buried the fourth before half-time – her 40th in European club footy. Madrid keeper Misa Rodríguez must've been praying for the whistle.
Second-Half Humiliation Seals the Deal
No mercy after the break. Graham Hansen chipped in her brace on 55' – pure class, leaving Rodríguez flapping. Dutch dynamo Esmee Brugts rounded off the rout on 74', tapping in after a cross from young gun Clara Serrajordi. Barça's depth is scary; subs like the two Brazilians on Madrid's side (Yasmin subbed at half-time, Antônio late on) couldn't stem the tide.
Fans set the tone pre-kickoff with a stunning mosaic, and the pitch show lived up to the hype. Historically, it's 24 wins to one for Barça in 25 Clásicos against Madrid. This? Peak dominance. As reported by OneFootball, it was a night where everything clicked under Pere Romeu.
Bayern Await, But Barça Look Unstoppable
Next up: Bayern Munich in the semis. The Germans bring physicality, but remember Barça's 7-1 group-stage tonking earlier this season? Confidence is sky-high after an unbeaten knockout run, 20 goals in the league phase alone.
Meanwhile, the other semi pits reigning champs Arsenal against the winner of Lyon vs Wolfsburg (Germans lead 1-0 from the first leg). Barça, dethroned last year, smell European queenship again. Madrid's heaviest Euro defeat ever? Just the latest chapter in Barça's supremacy saga.
If this doesn't get you buzzing for the women's game, nothing will. Pour another pint – the Femeni are on a mission!
