Once again, the classic constantly lives repeating the same day, the same defeat and victory, the same win only for a side. Party after party, Real Madrid’s arguments about distance with Barcelona have become excuses. Barcelona, after closing the tie in the first leg (0-5) and with the head in the quarterfinals of the Champions League next week, came out lazy and with less force than usual. But it was enough, once again, to defeat Madrid again (3-1) and pass with peace of mind to the final of the Queen’s Cup with a global result of overwhelming than worrying: 8-1.

Although the tie was more than closed and the match did not generate great expectation – 3,689 spectators in the Johan Cruyff Stadi – both teams went back to the gala eleven, although with slight changes. Barcelona did not try more. Enough to control the game and neutralize the speed of Athenea and Feller for the bands forcing the out of play, and leaving Olga Carmona permanently in the shadow of Graham Hansen. Madrid, with nothing to lose, came out with more intensity than in the first game, but the high pressure of Barça hindered the ball out of white. Above all, with a very participatory patrijarro at the defensive level, holding the team with its recoveries, and offensive, with the first goal of the game after a filtered pass by Graham Hansen. After the goal, the players gathered in a circle, with the talk of Captain Alexia Putellas included: they needed, for pride, more.
What they were looking for appeared after the break: the bench jumped Killer and Pichichi Ewa Pajor to score a double. The Barca ones continued to look for the goal, although giving priority to rotations. With the sentenced match and the end very close to arriving, Signe Bruun appeared to score the first goal of Madrid to the Catalans in two years. Nothing prevented the animation stands from continuing to sing. “Only details, Toril,” were encouraged again and again in reference to the statements of the White player Sheila García over the different level between both teams.
At the moment, the distance between both teams remains a well: classic room of the season, fourth Barca victory and fourth win. Real Madrid still does not beat Barcelona; There are already 18 games played. A new Batacazo for Real Madrid, which again loses the opportunity to win the first title in its history. A known path for Barcelona, which continues to advance to the final of the Cup and the second trophy of its season, in the absence of knowing its rival between Atlético de Madrid and Granada.
