Barcelona's Alexia Putellas celebrated a magical night at Spotify Camp Nou, where the Spanish champions crushed Real Madrid 6-0 in the UEFA Women's Champions League quarterfinal. The match drew a record 60,067 fans, the highest for either gender team at the renovated stadium since its November 2025 reopening. Putellas, marking her 500th Barça appearance, opened the scoring and was hoisted by teammates amid chants of her name. "I feel super loved," she said on Disney+, reflecting on the emotional milestone.

The victory secured a 12-2 aggregate win after a 6-2 first-leg thrashing, advancing Barça to the UWCL semifinals against Bayern Munich. Coach Pau Quesada praised the team's DNA of entertainment, while Madrid's coach admitted their "mental gap" despite fielding 10 of the world's top 20 players. The Clásico trilogy sees Barça now 18-1-1 in the last 20 meetings.
