The Time Is Nou
Her Goal, issue 5, April 2026 pp.22–23
Irati Vidal previews Barca Femeni’s return to the Spotify Camp Nou for the Champions League quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid on 2 April, a thousand days after the last great women’s night there. Construction limits capacity to 62,000, short of the 91,648 who watched the Wolfsburg semi-final in April 2022, still the record for a women’s fixture. Barcelona have won six of seven official matches at the ground. Patri Guijarro talks of goosebumps and Mapi Leon of something they dreamed of. The board under Joan Laporta, with Xavi Puig overseeing women’s football, has built the squad their own dressing room, and has bid to host the 2027 final.
