Barça Femení crush Real

Barcelona marked its return to the renovated Spotify Camp Nou with a season‑high crowd of 60,067 and a big pre‑match moment: Alexia Putellas was honoured for her 500th appearance for the club, and the players wore shirts featuring the typography of Anna Vives to mark World Down Syndrome Day (March 21). (fcbarcelona.com) Beyond the opening goal you saw in the headline, other scorers on the night included Caroline Graham Hansen (two goals), Irene Paredes, Ewa Pajor and Esmee Brugts, and referee Stéphanie Frappart took charge of the match. (espn.com) (fcbarcelona.com) Barcelona’s next opponent in the competition is Bayern Munich, with the semi‑finals scheduled over two legs — that means each pairing plays two matches (one at each team’s home stadium) and the combined score from both games decides who advances. (uefa.com) The club’s form across the season helps explain the gap: Barcelona topped the competition’s new league phase unbeaten, scoring 20 goals and conceding three, and they beat Bayern 7–1 when the teams met in October’s league‑phase meeting. (espn.com) (uefa.com) Individual milestones from the game underline the scale of the performance: Ewa Pajor notched her seventh Champions League goal of the season and her 40th in European club competition, and Putellas reached a landmark that made her one of Spain’s most prolific scorers in women’s club football. (espn.com) The evening also saw squad moments that mattered beyond the scoreline — seven players experienced the Spotify Camp Nou for the first time (including Cata Coll, Ona Batlle and Esmee Brugts), and the club described the match as a special night for supporters and players alike.
