Real Madrid Women’s Team Makes History with First-Ever Victory Over Barcelona

In a thrilling match on Sunday March 23, 2025, Real Madrid’s women’s team secured their first-ever victory over Liga F champions Barcelona, winning 3-1 at the Olympic stadium. The historic win marked a significant milestone for Real Madrid, who established their women’s team in 2020 after taking over CD Tacon.

The match was intense from the start, with both teams showcasing their skills and determination. Alba Redondo put Real Madrid ahead just before half-time, but Caroline Graham Hansen equalized for Barcelona in the 67th minute. The turning point came when Jana Fernandez’s goal for Barcelona was controversially disallowed for offside, a decision that sparked debate due to the absence of VAR in Liga F.

Caroline Weir, Real Madrid’s Scottish attacker, stepped up to secure the victory, scoring in the 87th minute and again in stoppage time. The win was a testament to Real Madrid’s resilience and belief in their ability to compete at the highest level.

Despite the loss, Barcelona remains at the top of the table, four points ahead of Real Madrid. However, the victory has boosted Real Madrid’s confidence as they prepare to face Arsenal in the women’s Champions League quarter-finals, holding a 2-0 advantage from the first leg. Barcelona, meanwhile, will host Wolfsburg with a 4-1 lead.

The atmosphere at the Olympic stadium was electric, with nearly 36,000 fans braving rain and hail to witness the historic match. Real Madrid’s players expressed their joy and pride in the achievement, acknowledging the significance of winning their first Clasico.

This victory underscores the growing competitiveness and excitement in women’s football, as Real Madrid continues to make strides in establishing themselves as a formidable force in the league.
