FC Barcelona outclassed Real Madrid in Clásico – record crowd of 91,553 spectators at Camp Nou

Maria León put the hosts on the road to victory early on (8′), but Olga Carmona (16′) immediately equalized from the penalty spot. After a dream goal by Claudia Zornoza (48th), who scored from 40 meters shortly after the break, tension germinated again.

But as a result, Barça increased the number of strokes and turned the game within three minutes. First Aitana Bonmati (52′) equalized, then Claudia Pina (55′) scored the lead again for the Blaugrana after great preliminary work by the former Bundesliga player Fridolina Rolfö. World footballer Alexia Putellas (62nd) and Carolina Hansen (70th) finally made the 5:2 victory.

The previous spectator world record for a women’s game came from 1999, when 90,185 fans watched the World Cup final between host USA and China at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. At club level, the record number of 60,739 visitors had been reached in the duel between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in 2019.

Barça, which had sold tickets all over the world for the special game, meets the winner of the duel between Wolfsburg and Arsenal in the semifinals. The second leg will take place in the VW Arena on Thursday, after a 1-1 draw in England in the first leg.
