UEFA Women’s Champions League: Barcelona Femení thump El Clásico rivals to set up semis with Bayern | OneFootball

Barcelona Femení beat Real Madrid for the third time in nine days to set up a Champions League semi-final clash with FC Bayern Frauen. The European giants scored 15 goals over fellow Liga F side in this timeframe.

After last week’s 6-2 victory in Madrid, Pere Romeu’s side scored half a dozen goals without conceding any in front of a sell-out Camp Nou crowd. It will be an eighth successive semi-final appearance for the three-time winners.

The only time they faced Bayern in the knockout stages was when this streak started in the semi-final of the 2018/19 season as they beat the Frauen-Bundesliga outfit 2-0 on aggregate. Barcelona reached the final of the competition in each of the last five seasons.

The two teams met in the opening round of the league phase this season. The embarrassing 7-1 defeat at Johan Cruyff Stadium is the only loss Bayern have suffered in any competition.

In a few minutes, Wolfsburg face OL Lyonnes for the final semi-final spot. Wolfsburg won the first leg 1-0 at home, thanks to Lineth Beerensteyn’s solitary strike. The winners will go head-to-head with defending champions Arsenal.
