Real Madrid Women Shock Barcelona With Historic Win

Real Madrid stunned Liga F leaders Barcelona with a 3-1 win at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. This was the first-ever victory for Madrid over their arch-rivals, putting an end to a 18-match winless streak in El Clasico. Barcelona, who dominated Liga F for the past five seasons, were dealt a crushing blow in front of 36,000 fans. Despite leading the table, their unbeaten run was cut short, and they now sit just four points clear of Madrid in the race for the title. 🏁 @FCBfemeni 1-3 @RealMadridFem ⚽ 41' @AFerrer_10⚽ 61' Graham ⚽ 87' @ItsCarolineWeir ⚽ 90+6' @ItsCarolineWeir 👉 @Emirates — Real Madrid C.F. (@realmadridfem) March 23, 2025 Madrid took the lead just before the break with Alba Redondo. Barcelona levelled the score when Caroline Graham Hansen netted in the 67th minute. However, controversy soon followed as Barcelona's Jana Fernandez potential goal was ruled out for offside, despite appearing onside. With no VAR, the decision stood. But the Madrid squad was not to be denied. Caroline Weir scored twice in the dying minutes – first in the 87th minute and then in stoppage time – to seal a historic victory for the visitors. Madrid's victory is a huge turning point for the club, especially after their humiliating 5-0 loss to Barcelona in the Supercopa de Espana two months ago. They are now in prime position to push for the league title, while Barcelona must regroup to face Wolfsburg in the Champions League with 4-1 advantage in the first leg. For Madrid, it's the perfect confidence boost ahead of their own Champions League quarter-final game with Arsenal, where they lead 2-0 from the first leg. Tags: FC BarcelonaLiga FReal Madrid
