FC Barcelona Women Dominate the Clásico at Valdebebas and Strengthen Their Lead in the League

FC Barcelona Women secured a clear 3-0 victory over Real Madrid in a thrilling Clásico held at the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium in Valdebebas, as part of Matchday 24 of Liga F. The goals came from Ona Batlle, Alexia Putellas, and an own goal by Lakrar, sealing the win for the Blaugrana side. This victory solidifies Barcelona’s position at the top of the table with a comfortable 13-point lead over Real Madrid, their closest rivals, with only 18 points left to contest.

From the start, Barcelona displayed overwhelming dominance, maintaining over 70% possession in the early minutes and stifling Real Madrid, who barely threatened the Blaugrana goal. Ona Batlle opened the scoring with a long-range shot that, after a deflection, beat Misa Rodríguez to make it 0-1. The team managed by Pau Quesada offered a timid and ineffective response, while Barcelona controlled the tempo and chances with great composure.

In the second half, Barcelona sought to seal the match with the quality of Alexia Putellas, who scored the second goal after an excellent pass from Caroline Graham Hansen left her one-on-one with the goalkeeper to fire past Misa Rodríguez. Just four minutes later, the Madrid defense was caught off guard when Lakrar scored an own goal from an Ona Batlle cross, making it 0-3 and effectively ending the contest.

The match, which served as a rematch for Real Madrid following the recent 6-2 defeat in the Women’s Champions League quarterfinal first leg, once again highlighted Barcelona’s superiority in the domestic competition. The Blaugranas maintain a firm grip on the lead and could be crowned champions next matchday if Real Madrid fails to win their derby against Madrid CFF and Barcelona defeat Badalona at home.

Real Madrid’s coach, Pau Quesada, attempted to adjust the strategy, but it was not enough to overcome Barcelona’s pressure and collective level. Misa Rodríguez stood out as her team’s best player despite conceding three goals, thanks to her saves that prevented a heavier defeat. Meanwhile, FC Barcelona showcased a polished performance, with high passing accuracy and constant territorial dominance.

With this latest league victory, Barcelona Women reaffirm their role as favorites with a compact and offensive style of play that has allowed them to dominate the season. The championship race appears to have swung decisively in their favor, and they hope to clinch the title in the coming matchdays, further cementing their status as one of the best women’s teams in the world.
