Real Madrid crushed, Barcelona closes in on Spanish throne

Barcelona continues to assert its overwhelming strength by defeating Real Madrid 3-0 away, thereby nearing the Liga F championship with an almost unstoppable form.

This Sunday's women's El Clasico at Alfredo Di Stéfano once again witnessed the vast disparity between the two Spanish football powers. In less than a week, Barcelona Femeni has twice left Real Madrid disappointed.

Following a resounding 6-2 victory in the Champions League arena, the Catalan girls continue to affirm their "unrivalled" position in the domestic Liga F with a convincing three-star triumph.

Statistics show Barcelona has won 23 times out of the last 24 encounters between the two teams. An even more staggering figure is they have reached 101 goals in just 26 clashes with their Madrid rivals, averaging nearly 4 goals per match. This demonstrates Barcelona's systematic investment since 1988 compared to a Real Madrid Women officially established only in 2020.

Right after the kick-off, despite Real Madrid coach Quesada deploying a defensive 5-4-1 counter-attack formation, the home team still could not withstand the suffocating pressure from Barcelona.

In the 18th minute, Ona Batlle opened the scoring for the visitors with a decisive shot from outside the box following Patricia Guijarro's well-placed pass. This goal acted like a cold shower extinguishing Real Madrid's fighting spirit.

Entering the second half, a similar scenario unfolded as Barcelona needed only minutes to double the lead. In the 51st minute, superstar Alexia Putellas positioned herself smartly, comfortably tapping the ball into the empty net after Graham Hansen's precise cross. Just 5 minutes later, disaster struck for the home team when goalkeeper Misa clumsily conceded an own goal from Batlle's cross, officially sealing any hope of a comeback for the royal team.

Throughout the 90 minutes, Real Madrid appeared completely stagnant, controlling only 25% of the ball and failing to produce a single shot on target. Conversely, Barcelona Femeni displayed destructive power with 69 points after 24 rounds, scoring a total of 106 goals and conceding only 6 times.

With this victory, Barcelona has extended its lead over Real Madrid to 13 points with only 6 rounds remaining in the season. The Liga F championship now seems firmly in the hands of the Catalan girls. On April 2nd, the two teams will meet again in the Champions League quarter-final return leg, where Barcelona aims for a "hat-trick" of victories over their historic rival within a single week.
