FC Barcelona’s women’s team is heading to Madrid to start an intense run of three crucial matches against Real Madrid within just nine days. The first clash, the Champions League quarterfinal first leg, takes place on Wednesday evening at Alfredo di Stéfano stadium.
Under coach Pere Romeu, Barça aims not only to assert dominance but also to edge closer to a landmark achievement — reaching 100 goals scored against Real Madrid in official matches. Currently, they have netted 92 in 24 games, boasting an impressive record of 23 wins and only one loss.
Following the Champions League match, the next two encounters will be in the Spanish league, also played in Madrid, where Barça holds a commanding 10-point lead and a strong winning streak this season. The final clash in the series at Spotify Camp Nou will decide a place in the semifinals.
Of note is Real Madrid’s choice to host women’s matches at the smaller Alfredo di Stéfano stadium, unlike other quarterfinalists who play at their main men’s stadiums. Barça’s matches will take place at the larger, albeit under-renovation, Camp Nou, allowing a much greater fan presence.
This unprecedented scheduling and the chance to reach 100 goals against their eternal rival place these fixtures as historic moments and key highlights of the season, underscoring Barça women’s dominance in Spanish and European football.
