Barcelona Femeni has suffered their first La Liga defeat in almost two years, with a 64-game unbeaten run ending.
Super Falcons attacker Asisat Oshoala had to be substituted in the 21st minute of the game. It seemed she had pulled her hamstring and would have to focus on regaining full fitness before the Champions League final in two weeks.
About nine minutes after the Nigerian was taken off, Racheal Kundananji opened the deadlock for CF Madrid.
Then in the 37th minute, she doubled their lead. Barcelona fought hard to score, but they had to wait till the 64th minute when Alexia Putellas pulled one back. But that was all they could get as it ended 2-1 for CF Madrid.
Barca completed the 2021-22 season unbeaten, with their last defeat returning in June 2021.
They won the league last season, winning all their games. And this season, they have drawn just one fixture.
Barca will now shift their attention to the Champions League final clash with Wolfsburg on June 3.
