The Barça Femení boss stays grounded after a 5-0 thrashing of Atlético de Madrid extends their dominance at the top of Liga F.
Barcelona Femení continues to redefine dominance in women’s football. Following a clinical 5-0 victory over Atlético de Madrid on Wednesday, the Catalan giants have extended their lead at the top of Liga F to a massive 10 points over rivals Real Madrid.
A Masterclass at the Johan Cruyff Stadium Capitalizing on Real Madrid’s surprise defeat to Athletic Bilbao earlier in the week, Barcelona entered the Clásico against Atlético with a chance to pull away. They did so in spectacular fashion. Goals from Alexia Putellas, Esmee Brugts, Salma Paralluelo, and a clinical brace from Claudia Pina secured the resounding win.
The statistics behind Barcelona’s season are staggering:
- Points: 45 (10 ahead of Real Madrid).
- Goals Scored: 79.
- Goals Conceded: 4.
- Goal Difference: +75.
Pere Romeu Calls for Focus Despite the commanding cushion at the top, head coach Pere Romeu is staying cautious. Speaking after the victory, he emphasized that the title race is far from over.

“It’s still early. We are only in January, and the season is long and demanding,” Romeu told reporters. “It’s an important step and a good advantage, I won’t deny it. But I’m mostly happy with how we played—the style and the execution were perfect.”
