The top team Barcelona fails his dress rehearsal before the second leg against VfL Wolfsburg in the Champions League.
Real Madrid’s footballers got their first Clásico victory in the Spanish league at all. In the prestige duel with the series master FC Barcelona, the team of currently injured ex-national player Melanie Leupolz won 3: 1 (1-0) and added the rival to VfL Wolfsburg (Thursday, 6.45 p.m./DAZN) before the Champions League back.
Previously, Barcelona had won nine games in series, including in the quarter-final first leg of the premier class against the wolves (4: 1). “We are disappointed, like when we lost at home against Levant,” said Barcelona’s two -time world footballer Alexia Putellas. In February, the top team had lost in the league for the first time after 46 wins in a series, now the next defeat followed. “It is part of losing sports, winning or playing a tie. You can never be sure whether you win,” said Putellas.
In front of 36,000 spectators in the Johan-Cruyff Stadium, the Scottish Caroline Weir took care of the victory with a late double pack (87./90.+6), Real approached Barcelona in the league up to four points. Previously, Jana Fernandez for Barcelona had hit the supposed 2: 1, but the gate did not count. The VAR is not used in League F.
“We always believed in being able to beat them. We have a big squad, they have the quality of playing at the top, but we believe that we can win all games,” said goal scorer Alba Redondo afterwards: “Today is a festival because we have made it for the first time.”
In 2020, Real Madrid took over the CD Tacon, founded in 2014, and has been making a team of women since then.
