Barcelona dominates 3-0 in the Women’s Clásico and advances toward the Liga F title

FC Barcelona reaffirmed its dominance in the Liga F after a resounding 3-0 victory over Real Madrid in the Clásico for matchday 24, held on Sunday, March 29, at the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium in Valdebebas. This win marks the second consecutive triumph in this fixture, following the emphatic 6-2 victory in the first leg of the UEFA Women’s Champions League quarterfinals, and leaves Barcelona on the brink of clinching the league title.

From the outset, Barcelona displayed absolute control, maintaining over 70% possession in the early minutes and exerting total dominance in the opposition’s half. Pau Quesada’s players, who fielded a strong Blaugrana core but were without Aitana Bonmatí and Laia Alexandri, tried to resist, though their defense struggled to contain Barcelona’s relentless pressure. Colombian forward Linda Caicedo was their primary offensive threat, but her efforts were insufficient against Barça’s superiority.

Fortune played a role in the opening goal when, at the 18th minute, a long-range shot from Ona Batlle was deflected by Rocío Gálvez, unfortunately beating goalkeeper Misa Rodríguez to put Barcelona ahead. After the goal, Barcelona sustained their pressure and found a second at the 51st minute, when Caroline Graham Hansen delivered a pinpoint cross from the byline for Alexia Putellas—a two-time Ballon d’Or winner—to finish with precision, extending the lead.

The final blow came just four minutes later, when French defender Maëlle Lakrar inadvertently scored an own goal from another Batlle cross, sealing the 3-0. Goalkeeper Misa Rodríguez made several key saves to prevent further damage, but Barcelona’s dominance was undeniable, and they could have widened the margin further. This victory leaves Barcelona with 66 points, 10 ahead of their closest rival, Real Madrid, who sit on 56.

The match took place at the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium, a venue with a capacity of nearly 5,800 spectators in Valdebebas, which hosted a clash broadcast primarily on DAZN, as well as live on RTVE Play and Teledeporte, along with radio coverage from COPE and Radio Marca.

With a 13-point lead and only 18 points left to contest, Barcelona is all but guaranteed the Liga F title, adding to their already secured Spanish Super Cup this season. The Blaugrana now turn their focus to the Women’s Champions League and the Copa de la Reina final against Atlético de Madrid Femenino.

Meanwhile, the Liga F remains competitive for European spots, with teams like Alhama ElPozo and Levante battling for positions. Barcelona’s Claudia Pina leads the scoring charts, while Caroline Graham Hansen tops the assists. In disciplinary terms, Nancy Amoh holds the record for the most red cards in the competition.

This Sunday also confirmed the scheduling of the next Women’s Clásico, the Champions League quarterfinal second leg, where Real Madrid will attempt a comeback at the same venue, though Barcelona’s advantage remains substantial. In LaLiga, Real Madrid Femenino continues to fight for points to secure a strong position, though they can no longer challenge for the title given Barcelona’s dominance.

In summary, FC Barcelona Femenino consolidates its supremacy in Spanish women’s football with emphatic performances and a squad blending talent and experience, making clear their ambition to claim every available title this season.
