Barcelona defeat Real Madrid 7-0 in Liga F as Claudia Pina scores four goals
Claudia Pina scored four goals in the opening 45 minutes at Spotify Camp Nou as Barcelona secured a 7-0 victory over Real Madrid in matchday six of Liga F.
Pina leads first-half rout
Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 7-0 in matchday six of Liga F at Spotify Camp Nou, led by four first-half goals from forward Claudia Pina. The fixture had been delayed by two hours after a severe storm caused transit disruptions across Catalonia. In front of 40,533 spectators, Barcelona established an immediate lead when Pina evaded five defenders (Andreia, Senss, Andersson, Caruso, and Silvi) inside the penalty area to score with a left-footed strike in the fourth minute. Pina added a second goal by converting a loose ball after goalkeeper Merle Frohms's defence failed to clear a blocked shot from Ewa Pajor. In the 31st minute, Pina completed a hat-trick by executing a combination pass with Patri Guijarro, before adding her fourth goal in the 45th minute off another setup from Pajor.
It is not every day that you score four goals in a match. And against Real Madrid.

Tactical dominance and second-half scoring
Barcelona manager Pere Romeu adjusted his starting lineup by inserting defender Van Asten in place of Martina and deploying Aïcha Camara at right-back, which moved Sydnei Schertenleib into midfield alongside Guijarro and Claudia Serrajordi. Camara's defensive coverage restricted Real Madrid attackers Linda Caicedo and Felicia Schröder throughout the match. Real Madrid manager Pau Quesada fielded the same starting lineup used against Manchester City three days earlier, but his side conceded five goals before half-time. In the second half, Caroline Graham Hansen led a counter-attack that Ewa Pajor finished for Barcelona's sixth goal. Romeu withdrew Pina and Graham Hansen in the 59th minute for Aitana Bonmatí and Kerolin, before Schertenleib concluded the scoring with a long-range right-footed strike.
Roster transitions and head-to-head record
The result represents the largest defeat conceded by Real Madrid since the club launched its women's football section in 2019. Across 27 competitive meetings between the two sides, Barcelona have won 26 times, while Real Madrid have won once. Barcelona achieved the victory after a summer transfer window that saw the departures of Alexia Putellas, Mapi León, Ona Batlle, and Salma Paralluelo, alongside injuries to Vicky López and Laia Aleixandri. Pina became the fourth player in Barcelona's history to score four goals in a single match against Real Madrid, following Josep Samitier, Martí Vantolrà, and Eulogio Martínez, who last achieved the feat 69 years earlier at the Les Corts stadium. Pina's performance took her season total to nine goals in Liga F and 11 across all competitions.
