Barcelona Rout Real Madrid 4–0 to Open Seven-Point Liga F Lead

Pajor's first start since a knee injury yielded a brace; Cata Coll preserved the shutout with a late penalty save.

Overview

  • Ewa Pajor scored in the 17th and 29th minutes on her return to the starting lineup after more than a month out, taking her season tally to 10 in all competitions.
  • A chaotic opening featured multiple disallowed goals, with Caroline Weir’s early finish ruled offside and two Pajor efforts wiped out, including one for handball.
  • Real Madrid received an 81st-minute penalty after a lengthy Football Video Support review initiated by a coach challenge, but Coll saved Weir’s spot-kick.
  • Substitutes Sydney Schertenleib and Aitana Bonmatí added stoppage-time goals in the 90+1' and 90+3' minutes to seal the 4-0 scoreline.
  • The match drew 36,276 fans at the Olympic Stadium, and the victory reasserted Barça’s dominance after Madrid’s March win by pushing the champions seven points clear.
