‘Historic day for football and society’ - Xavi hails Barcelona Femeni

Xavi hailed Barcelona Femeni after watching the team beat Real Madrid 5-2 to book their place in the semi-finals of the Women’s Champions League.

The men’s coach was part of the record 91,553 crowd that packed out the Camp Nou to watch the Clasico on Wednesday evening.

Xavi had a pretty good view from the looks of things and offered his thoughts on another sensational night for Barca Femeni. He wrote, “historic day for football and society.”

Goals from Mapi Leon, Aitana Bonmati, Claudia Pina, Alexia Putellas, and Carolina Graham Hansen sealed the win for Barca and a great night for women’s football.
