The capital club's female team noted its maiden triumph in El Classico after nine unsuccessful attempts, handing Barcelona only their second defeat of the season (3-1)

Unlike men's football, in which the two greatest Spanish sides, Real Madrid and Barcelona, fiercely fight for the title every season, the situation in female football on the Iberian Peninsula is much different, as the Catalan club runs riots, having won five consecutive titles in the past five seasons.

However, the reason behind that may be pretty simple - Real Madrid's female team was founded on July 1, 2020. At the same time, Atletico Madrid were by far the greatest rivals Barca had, with an occasional Athletic Bilbao's "interference." Still, Barca's "terror" might be over!

After nine unsuccessful attempts and as many Blaugrana's wins - with a crushing 33-2 goal difference - Las Blancas finally managed to note their maiden El Classico victory (3-1), closing the gap behind the table toppers Barca to four points with seven rounds to go.

The heroine of Madrid's victory was the Scottish international and former Man City midfielder Caroline Weir, who netted a winning brace in the 87th and sixth minute of added time. Previously, Alba Redondo had given Las Blancas the lead four minutes before the break, while Barca's forward, Caroline Graham, equalized in the 67th minute.

Yet, it has to be mentioned that a rather controversial moment occurred ten minutes before the end - while the score was level - when Barcelona's goal was disallowed for Jana Fernandez's non-existent offside.
