It was a difficult evening in Barcelona as our Real Madrid Femenino saw their European journey come to an end. Facing a formidable Barcelona side in the second leg of the Women’s Champions League quarterfinals, the Las Blancas fell 6-0 at the Spotify Camp Nou.
Despite the fighting spirit our players have shown throughout this continental campaign, the home side took control early. Alexia Putellas opened the scoring in the 8th minute, pouncing on a rebound after an initially brilliant save by Misa. The momentum stayed with the hosts as Hansen (15’), Paredes (27’), and Pajor (34’) added to the tally before the break. Athenea nearly pulled one back for Madrid before halftime, but her effort couldn’t find the net.
The second half saw Barcelona add two more through Hansen (55’) and Brugts (74’). While the result is a bitter pill to swallow, the team’s presence in the final eight of Europe’s elite competition remains a testament to the club’s rapid growth on the women’s stage.
