Barcelona Women secured a dominant 7-0 victory over Real Madrid in the Liga F Clásico, a result that established new records for the fixture and attendance. The match, played at Spotify Camp Nou, saw Barcelona extend their lead at the top of the league table to five points.
The 7-0 scoreline marked the largest victory in the history of the Clásico between the two clubs. According to FC Barcelona, never before had the team scored seven goals against Real Madrid or won a meeting by a seven-goal margin. The previous biggest win was 6-0, also in Barcelona's favour.
Clàudia Pina was the standout performer, scoring four goals, all in the first half. She became the first Barcelona player to score four against Real Madrid. The club noted that the only previous Barcelona player to achieve four goals against the Madrid side was Asisat Oshoala in 2020, when the opponent was still competing as CD Tacón.
Ewa Pajor also reached a significant milestone by scoring the sixth goal of the game. This goal brought her total to 15 goals in Clásicos, equalling the record previously held outright by Alexia Putellas. The Polish striker now shares the top spot in the all-time scoring charts for this fixture.
The match attracted a crowd of 40,533 spectators, setting a new Liga F attendance record. This figure was confirmed by FC Barcelona as the highest attendance for the league's Clásico at the renovated Spotify Camp Nou.
The Guardian reported that the match was pushed back by two hours due to torrential rain in the Catalonia region. Barcelona, who have won the league seven seasons running, maintained a perfect start to the campaign. The scoring began in the fourth minute with Pina, followed by her second in the 28th minute. Pina completed her hat-trick shortly after, and Caroline Graham Hansen added a goal before Pina scored her fourth before the interval.
In the second half, Pajor scored early, and Swiss midfielder Sydney Schertenleib added a seventh goal from long range. Three-time Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmatí came on for the final 30 minutes as she continues her return to full fitness following a broken leg.
Real Madrid have beaten Barcelona just once in 25 meetings between the sides across all competitions. The Madrid women’s team began in 2020 after taking over CD Tacón. The Clásico was also a special occasion for Clara Serrajordi, who made her 50th appearance for the Barcelona first team.
This victory underscores Barcelona's dominance in women's football, both domestically and internationally. The record attendance highlights the growing popularity of the women's game, while the individual records set by Pina and Pajor mark significant achievements in the history of the Clásico. The result further solidifies Barcelona's position at the top of Liga F, stretching their lead to five points.
