FC Barcelona advances to the Copa de la Reina final after a tie that will remain in the fans' memory. Pere Romeu's team came with the work done from the first leg (0-5), but even so, they managed to further extend the lead. Barça will know their opponent for the final after the match between Atlético de Madrid and Granada.
Absolute Dominance and Patri Opens the Scoring
The match started with a clear dominator, Barça, who, although the tie was decided, went all out. Real Madrid pressed high, trying to force an error from the blaugranas, but Barça would have the first chances of the match. In the 25th minute, Barça's first goal came from a second-line arrival by Patri Guijarro, who crossed the ball past Misa.
A few minutes later, some of the controversial actions of the match would occur. María Méndez committed a foul on Salma Paralluelo as the last player before the goalkeeper, and she was spared a red card. Before the break, Olga Carmona kicked Graham without a chance of reaching the ball, costing her only a yellow card.
Ewa Pajor, 7 Goals in 4 Clásicos
Ewa Pajor had scored a hat-trick in the first leg of the Copa semifinals against Real Madrid and also wanted to join the party in the return leg. At halftime, she came on in place of Kika Nazareth, leading to a change in the system. With just one minute on the field, she scored the 2-0 with a powerful shot that Misa almost stopped.
Rölfo, who had also been on the field for a few minutes, delivered a cross aimed at Pajor's head, who scored the 3-0 and her second of the match. With the game completely under control, Real Madrid took advantage of a counterattack to narrow the gap with their first shot on target of the match, scored by Signe Bruun.
Pere Romeu: "This Won't Be Eternal"
After the match, both the footballers and Pere Romeu were asked about the competitiveness against Madrid. Barça's coach was concise in his statements, emphasizing how difficult it is to achieve what the team has been achieving in recent years.
"This won't be eternal. They have improved a lot, and I am completely sure they will continue to do so, and they will make things increasingly difficult for us."
