Barcelona Femeni crowned champions after big Clasico win

Barcelona Femeni have been crowned champions for the third year in a row after beating Real Madrid 5-0 on Sunday at the Estadi Johan Cruyff.

The hosts were without a host of key players due to injury, such as Mariona Caldentey, Asisat Oshoala, Lieke Martens and Irene Paredes, but still romped to victory.

Barca had to wait until almost half-time before taking the lead when Alexia Putellas (who else?) scored via a deflected shot from range on 41 minutes.

Two minutes later Alexia had struck again with a right-footed shot that flew across goal, past goalkeeper Misa and into the back of the net.
