Barcelona delivered a stunning 6-2 demolition of Real Madrid in the Women's Champions League quarter-final first leg, a result that midfielder Patri Guijarro hailed as "historic" as it served as a painful reminder to their rivals of the gulf in class currently separating the clubs in Europe following Wednesday's rout. Meanwhile, the other major UWCL tie saw Bayern Munich secure a slight advantage over English side Manchester United, winning the home leg 3-2 behind a brace from Pernille Harder. Despite the narrow defeat, Manchester United manager Marc Skinner refused to concede defeat, maintaining that the team still holds aspirations for the second leg, even though the team's spirit faces a major test heading into next week’s decider.
