The return to Spotify Camp Nou and multiple player debuts add special significance to this high-stakes match, promising fresh excitement for fans.

Barcelona’s women’s team is set to face Real Madrid in a crucial Champions League quarterfinal match at Spotify Camp Nou. This marks their first game at the stadium since April 2023, when they played the Champions League semifinal second leg against Chelsea.

Head coach Pere Romeu will manage his team at Camp Nou for the first time, while six players—Cata Coll, Ona Batlle, Aïcha Camara, Esmee Brugts, Sydney Schertenleib, and Kika Nazareth—are set to make their debut on this iconic pitch. Laia Alexandri remains sidelined due to a knee injury sustained in a February match against Real Madrid.

Barcelona has a strong home record in the Champions League at Camp Nou, with memorable wins against rivals including Espanyol, Real Madrid, Wolfsburg, and Rosengard. The stadium also hosted the first-ever women’s Clasico with a record attendance exceeding 91,000 spectators.

This return and the squad’s fresh faces signal a new chapter for Barcelona Femeni at Camp Nou, exciting fans and reinforcing their unbeaten home legacy in European competition.
