Barcelona’s all-conquering women’s team needed just one point last Sunday to officially clinch their seventh Primera División title and the third in a row for the best women’s team on planet Earth.
But they weren’t about to get a draw. Not in this one. It was at home, in front of the largest-ever crowd at the Johan Cruyff Stadium for a women’s match, and it was El Clásico against Real Madrid. Not even a victory would be enough. They had to put on a show.
And they did just that. The 90 minutes put together by Barça against Madrid were quite simply sublime, with some of the best football they have played all season.
