Barca build huge lead on Real Madrid in Women's Champions League quarters

Pere Romeu's side, who have dominated the competition in recent years, moved two goals ahead through Ewa Pajor and Esmee Brugts inside 13 minutes. Linda Caicedo pulled one back for hosts Real Madrid at the Alfredo Di Stefano stadium but Irene Paredes quickly restored Barca's two-goal lead. Pajor and Vicky Lopez netted in the second half before Caicedo struck again for Madrid to give them some faint hope. Alexia Putellas added a late penalty to leave the Catalans with one foot firmly in the semi-finals.
