Més que un club? More than empowerment. That was the message held aloft by 91,553 fans at the famous Camp Nou stadium as the women's soccer attendance record was set on Wednesday in Barcelona. The record crowd saw an unbelievable match with golazos raining in from both sides.
It's difficult to remember Real Madrid ever looking as clueless and toothless as it did in Sunday night's El Clásico at the Santiago Bernabéu. Maybe, with the league pretty much won, the remontada against PSG still fresh in the mind and Karim Benzema out, Real thought there was no such thing as a bad result.
Well, a 4-0 defeat to Barcelona in which Xavi's side could've scored seven or eight while dominating every facet of the game constituted a horrendous evening for Carlo Ancelotti's team.
Pese a jugar de local, Real Madrid recibirá hoy a Barcelona con un kit diferente a lo que acostumbra.
Los merengues dejarán el blanco con que todo el mundo los identifica para estrenar un modelo especial de color negro y que cumple dos funciones: celebrar los 120 años del club y promocionar su colaboración con el reconocido diseñador japonés, Yohji Yamamoto.
Less than five months ago, Barcelona's season reached a devastating low after defeat to Real Madrid at the Camp Nou was followed by an embarrassing loss to Rayo Vallecano in Madrid. Ronald Koeman was sacked and the idea of Blaugrana supporters actually looking forward to El Clasico 2022 time seemed entirely preposterous.
Where is Sergiño Dest for El Clásico and the USA-Mexico World Cup qualifier? Unfortunately, ahead of what was going to be the biggest week of his career, an untimely Sergiño Dest injury is keeping the U.S. and Barcelona fullback off the pitch. Fortunately, he won’t be out for too long.
24 matches played, 24 matches won, 136 goals scored, six conceded and one Primera División title secured with six games still remaining. There's no stopping Barcelona Femení in Spain now after the team's 5-0 beatdown of Real Madrid at Estadi Johan Cruyff on Sunday, and it'll again be Real Madrid that's tasked with stopping Barça in Europe when the two sides square off in the Champions League quarterfinals later this month.
There are hundreds of "best El Clasico" list articles out there with very little discrepancy among them. Lionel Messi's 2017 last-minute winner before lifting his jersey to a stunned Bernabéu? Obviously. Gareth Bale's surging run in the 2014 Copa del Rey Final? Gotta watch it. The 2011 Champions League semifinals? Pure drama.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored for the third game in a row and helped a much improved Barcelona to earn a comfortable 4-0 home win against Athletic Bilbao in LaLiga on Sunday.
The former Arsenal striker opened the scoring in the 37th minute, netting a rebound from a Gerard Piqué header off the bar.

Además de anunciar el traslado de la final de la Champions League de San Petersburgo a París, como castigo a la invasión rusa a Ucrania, la UEFA dio a conocer hoy las llaves de octavos de final de sus otras dos competencias: la Europa y la Conference League.
En la primera competencia, la de mayor tradición y linaje, el sorteo definió la suerte de tres futbolistas mexicanos.
Last weekend, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang bagged his first goals in Barcelona's jersey. The Gabonese international scored a glittering hat trick over Valencia and brought to the culé universe his signature somersault celebration.
