Barcelona have been experiencing successful moments in recent weeks after a dry spell, firstly by ransacking the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, when they disgraced the Madrid side in the league Clásico 0:4.

Ten days later, the Catalan club experienced further success when the women’s team reached the Champions League semi-finals over their Madrid rivals.

Although the Barcelona players’ progress was expected given the fact that Real Madrid is just starting with the women’s team, the match still shattered records.
