Bayern women experience debacle: 1:7 against Barcelona!
A disastrous start for FC Bayern Women in the UEFA Champions League: On October 8, 2025, they suffered a painful 7-1 defeat against FC Barcelona at the Estadi Johan Cruyff. In front of 4,409 spectators, the Munich team was unable to even begin to put last year's finalists in trouble. The game was a clear affair from the start for the Catalans, who put pressure on from the first minute.
The goal scorers for Barcelona came from a real flood of attacks. Alexia Putellas scored the first goal in the 3. minute, followed by two goals by the Polish striker Ewa Pajor in the 12th and 56th minute. Esmee Brugts (27th minute) and Salma Paralluelo (45.+1 minute) also entered the list of goal scorers. The only ray of hope for Bavaria was Klara Bühl, which scored the connection goal in the 32nd minute. Unfortunately it wasn't enough to shorten the gap.
Difficult conditions for Bayern women
Bayern couldn't get back into the game after falling behind early on. Klara Bühl, who was courted by Barcelona last season, gave the team an early goal with an unfortunate pass. These defensive insecurities led to Bayern conceding four goals in the first half. Luck wasn't on Munich's side either: Schüller's goal was disallowed due to offside.
The situation got worse when Carolin Simon was injured during the game and had to leave the field in tears. Coach Pernille Hader tried to motivate his players until the end, but the team had great difficulty fending off the attacks of the hard-working Barça players. Before the game, José Barcala, the coach of Bayern Women, had set a goal of winning the Champions League - after this defeat, that seems almost unimaginable.
This defeat is the highest in the entire Champions League history for Bayern Women and leaves many questions unanswered. In the coming phase, the players will have to pull themselves together even more to avoid such painful games. The next challenge is already waiting, and the team now needs strong solidarity in order to learn from this bitter slap and come back stronger.
