There was a familiar feeling for Barcelona fans this week as their women’s side thrashed Real Madrid . Pere Romeu’s team beat Madrid 6-0 in the Champions League quarter-final second leg at the Camp Nou on Thursday. They progressed to the semi-finals with an aggregate 12-2 win against their arch-rivals.

Barcelona Femeni and Real Madrid faced each other three times in the last week, including a 3-0 win for Barca in Liga F, the Spanish top-flight. Across those three matches, Barca scored 15 times and conceded just twice. Their goalkeeper Cata Coll did not have to work in the last two matches; Madrid did not manage a single shot on target across the league meeting and the quarter-final second leg.

Those lopsided results are no longer surprising for those who follow Spanish football. The sides have faced each other 27 times now, although for the first two of those Real Madrid were still known as CD Tacon, the club they absorbed upon their 2019 formation . The record stands at 26 wins and 101 goals for the Catalans, with just one win and 13 goals for the team from the Spanish capital.
