Barcelona thrash Real Madrid and go through to the semifinals of the Women’s Champions League

Barcelona thrashed a competitive Real Madrid (5-2), sealed the pass to the Champions League semi-finals and enjoyed a historic celebration for football at the Camp Nou, which set a new world attendance record for a women’s match with 91,553 spectators.

After the 1-3 in favor of the current European champions, the sporting result, which was decided in the second half when the Barça players came back from 1-2 down, was left in the background.

Said the Barça captain Alexia Putellas what this thursday could mean the beginning of “a new era”. He was right: the Barça temple was hosting the first official match with the public for the women’s soccer team.

This was also understood by the member and fan of Barcelona who almost occupied the more than 99,000 seats to live an afternoon of football to remember.

It took, yes, to almost fill the Camp Nou. The traffic jams in the outskirts of the stadium prevented all the 91,553 fans who finally attended the match from participating in the previous mosaic (‘More than empowerment’: ‘More than empowerment’) and many were left without seeing the first goal of the match, the work of Mapi Leon (1-0, min.8).

The central Aragonese invented a center with the left foot that was poisoned to become a shot that surprised Misathe Real Madrid goalkeeper.

The Barça public roared, seeing how their team tamed the game with the ball and annulled their rival, well positioned in defense, thanks to the pressure after loss.

The azulgrana monologue was interrupted by some clear hands of Irene Paredes inside the area. The referee did not hesitate to point out a penalty and Olga Carmona, Real Madrid’s best player in the first half, leveled the match with a low, tight shot that Paños narrowly missed (1-1, min. 16).

He dislodged the goal for the azulgrana, who did not suffer in defense but who were somewhat imprecise in the last pass and in front of goal.

Alexia Putellas and Graham Hansen enjoyed the most frank chances for Barcelona before the break, but their shots missed the target.

The Camp Nou did not stop cheering in the first half in which Real Madrid, as happened in the first leg despite being 1-3 against, showed that It is a very well worked team tactically and who knows how to compete against the reigning European champion.

And in the second half, when the best minutes of football were seen, he put fear in the bodies of the Barça players with the goal of the game Zornoza. The midfielder from Madrid saw Paños advanced and, from about 45 meters, gave her team a first lead (1-2, min.48).

The unusual joy lasted five minutes for Real Madrid, the time it took for Aitana Bonmatí to break away, receive assistance from Jenni Hermoso and cross the ball with a low shot (2-2, min. 52).

The Barça public exploded with joy, wanting more goals. And they arrived. Barça breathed a little calmer with Claudia Pina’s third (min. 55), who with his left foot drew a parabola that slipped through the left squad.

With the Real Madrid players somewhat worn out physically, Barcelona played at will with the ball, at which point the talent of Hansen and Alexia reappeared.

LakeBarça apitana sentenced the tie with the fourth goal (min. 62), with a shot that Misa and Ivana failed to stop under the sticks, and the Swedish winger disguised herself as ‘9’ to score the fifth (min. 70) chasing a ball inside the area.
