Barça Women Dominate the Clasico: 4-0 Thrashing of Real Madrid Sparks Liga F Lead
15 November 2025
Match Day Recap
The Catalan women’s team crushed their traditional rivals Real Madrid 4-0 at Montjuïc, strengthening Barça's hold on the Spanish Liga F lead.
The Polish forward Ewa Pajor opened the scoring about a quarter of an hour in, and she repeated the feat before halftime to give her side a 2-0 cushion.
Real Madrid earned a late penalty in the 81st minute, but Barcelona goalkeeper Catalina Coll stood tall to deny Caroline Weir from the spot.
In stoppage time, the Swiss forward Sydney Shertenlaib added a third, and veteran Aitana Bonmatí capped the scoring with a fourth in the final minutes.
Barcelona now sits on 30 points, seven ahead of Real Madrid, who remain in second place.
Camp Nou License Update
Off the pitch, Barca is awaiting official clearance from the city to use the Stage 1B permit permitting matches at Spotify Camp Nou. The move would significantly increase capacity and comfort for home fixtures, especially ahead of the clash with Athletic Bilbao.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the municipality currently has the documents needed to apply for the permit, which would unlock side stands and lift capacity from about 27,000 to as many as 45,000 spectators under Stage 1A, while Stage 1B would unlock further increases. As of last Friday, Barca had not received any formal contact from the city about a license, complicating preparations and ticketing for the Nov 22 match and beyond.
Club officials do not rule out a Monday decision, which would allow the Camp Nou stadium to host Athletic Bilbao on November 22, but if the license is delayed, Barca could instead host their first match in the new venue against Alavés on November 29, the club's 126th anniversary.
Barca has already completed several small adjustments requested by the city, such as barrier modifications, but the final checks before opening remain necessary, potentially delaying the initial plan for a Camp Nou debut ahead of schedule.
Camp Nou: A Historic Icon
Camp Nou stands as one of football's most recognizable landmarks and a symbol of Barcelona's storied identity.
Opened in 1957 to meet rising demands, it replaced the aging venue that could no longer accommodate growing crowds, and it was designed to meet global standards with wide terraces and modern amenities.
Through the decades, Camp Nou underwent significant upgrades in the 1970s and 1980s, including expanded seating, improved facilities, and later safety and security enhancements to ensure a comfortable and safe fan experience.
Camp Nou has hosted countless major matches, local finals, international fixtures, and even concerts, underscoring its status as both cultural and sports landmark.
Today it is also a cultural hub with a museum and tours that attract visitors from around the world, reinforcing Barça's identity beyond the pitch.
Under the Espai Barça project the stadium is being modernized to upgrade facilities, expand capacity, and install cutting-edge lighting, sound, and surveillance technology, while preserving its historic essence.
Ultimately, Camp Nou remains an icon of football, its history and design echoing Barça's tradition, with every expansion balancing modernization and heritage.
Punchline 1: If defense were a recipe, Barça's would be an airtight casserole—you can smell the shutouts from a mile away.
Punchline 2: And remember, in football as in life, when the jokes are sharp and the goals sharper, the crowd leaves happier than a cat at a tuna factory.
