Real Madrid 1-3 Barca | Barça does not forgive against the best Madrid of the ‘Clásicos’

The Di Stéfano lived a night of legend. One of those games that are surrounded by a special magic and in which Real Madrid touched the feat. The future ‘Clásico’ knocks on the door of Europe with force, after a great game by a white team that clung to enthusiasm and teamwork to stand up to Barça, the favorite and current European champion.

The azulgrana team beat the Toril team, which went ahead 1-0 at halftime. There is still the return leg at the Camp Nou (March 30)which is presented as a culé hell for a Madrid that surprised with its drive in a match that monopolized the spotlights of Spanish football.

The game started with joy at the Di Stéfano, where the Madrid fans were proud of a women’s team that has reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League in its second year of history. And, despite the fact that the euphoria diminished as the minutes went by, it ended up fulfilling what was expected, with a victory for Barça that accelerated in the second half and left the tie on track for the second leg in Barcelona.

Barça started hungry for a goal and warned in the first minutes. But the first of the night came in favor of the locals, breaking all forecasts. Olga Carmona put the madridistas ahead after a great comeback by Esther, who took advantage of a loss by Alexia. The Sevillian appeared like a dagger to annihilate Paños under the sticks and finish plugging in the Madrid fans. Her goal raised a Real Madrid that stood up to the European champion.

The azulgranas were surprised by the blow from Toril. However, Giráldez’s men settled down on the green in search of greater calm in their attack, where they got stuck before a strong defense from Madrid. A scenario in which the Madrilenians were very comfortable. Well locked up behind, with a Misa that hardly had to come into play, White also had their chances, with a shot to the post by Esther before the break, to which they left with 1-0 in their favor.

The second half started with controversy, with a controversial takedown by Olga Carmona on Graham Hansen that was reviewed by the VAR. The video arbitration debuted in the Champions League conceding a penalty in favor of Barça. The azulgranas did not fail from eleven meters, from which Alexia Putellas hit her shot to beat Misa. The Ballon d’Or tied the game against a Madrid that did not collapse and kept pressing.

The game continued with rhythm, with great chances being exchanged for both teams. Esther and Pina led the dangerous internships of both teams. But none managed to send the ball into the net. Meanwhile, the whites came out on top and continued with very clear ideas in their pressure on a Barça that was paralyzed by times.

However, the current champion of Europe and the Spanish League never lowers his arms and annihilated his rival by means of a goal by Pina in the 81st minute, which gave fresh air after coming off the bench and was lethal in a rebound in the area to beat Misa. The young Catalan striker led Barça’s comeback, which imposed its physical superiority in the last minutes of the game. And, as the icing on the cake, Alexia appeared to finish off this ‘Clásico’ with a great goal from Vaseline in discount time. Too much punishment for a Madrid that lived up to the historic event.
