Barcelona Women struck first in their El Clásico encounter with Real Madrid.
The two heavyweights of Spanish football met in the Copa de la Reina quarter-final on Wednesday.

Barça applied heavy pressure in the opening stages and their positive start paid off on the 21-minute mark.Â
The opener came from a familiar source, Alexia Putellas, who was left unmarked in the area to head in from Caroline Graham's corner.
That goal took Putellas' goal tally to 13 in all competitions for the 2025/26 campaign, and extended the Spain midfielder's excellent Clásico record against Real Madrid.

Barcelona just about held on to their first half lead as Real Madrid had an equaliser ruled out just before the break.Â
