Barcelona vs Hammarby saw Barcelona Femení deliver an incredible performance, matching their biggest Women’s Champions League victory. On Wednesday night at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, Barcelona vs Hammarby ended with a 9-0 thrashing of the Swedish side, equaling a club record.
Caroline Graham Hansen and Clàudia Pina each scored twice, while five other players added goals to ensure Barcelona vs Hammarby resulted in the holder’s first points in Europe this season. Barcelona had previously lost to Manchester City in their opening match.
The stunning game result matched their previous record of nine goals, which they achieved against Benfica in October 2022. That season, Barcelona went on to become champions, and they now have three Women’s Champions League titles, second only to Lyon’s eight.
Barcelona has been on a scoring spree lately, averaging more than five second-half goals in recent games. Before Barcelona vs Hammarby, they had crushed teams like Granada, Madrid CFF, and Espanyol in domestic competitions.
The largest win in Women’s Champions League history remains Apollon Limassol’s 21-0 victory over Ada Velipojë in 2012, but Barcelona vs Hammarby put the Blaugrana back in the spotlight.
The scoring began in just the 10th minute when Ballon d’Or nominee Caroline Graham Hansen rounded Hammarby’s goalkeeper, Anna Tamminen, to net the first goal. Clàudia Pina followed with her first goal of the match in the 24th minute.
Before half-time, Alexia Putellas and Mapi León scored with headers, making it 4-0 at the break. After the interval, Pina got her second goal, assisted by 2023 Ballon d’Or Féminin winner Aitana Bonmatí, in the 58th minute. Ewa Pajor made it six after an excellent run down the wing by Graham Hansen.
Late in Barcelona vs Hammarby, Graham Hansen and substitute Esmee Brugts added goals, bringing the tally to 8-0. Fridolina Rolfö then completed the scoring with a penalty.
This match will be followed by a domestic clash against Levante in Liga F on Sunday. Barcelona’s next Women’s Champions League match is set for November 12, when they face Austrian side St Pölten.
