Barcelona remained on course for a third straight Women’s Champions League title after routing Wolfsburg 6-1 in the second leg of their quarter-final.
Salma Paralluelo and Clàudia Pina each scored twice as Barcelona reached the semi-finals 10-2 on aggregate. Barça have scored a total of 35 goals in eight games in the competition this season.
Barcelona won 4-1 in the first leg last week in the first meeting of the two teams since they beat Wolfsburg 3-2 in the 2023 Champions League final. It was nowhere near that margin again at the Estadi Johan Cruyff.

Paralluelo completed a fast move with a clinical left-footed low finish from the left corner of the area 10 minutes in. Only 10 minutes later, Esmee Brugts cut back for her from the left to add the second from inside the box before dancing with her smiling teammates in celebration. Brugts made it 3-0 with a powerful drive from the edge of the box to beat the Wolfsburg goalkeeper, Anneke Borbe.
Pina controlled the ball with her left foot before unleashing a right-footed strike from the edge of the area to add the fourth in the 62nd, less than four minutes after coming on as substitute.
Only then did Wolfsburg respond, when the substitute Lineth Beerensteyn scored with her first touch of the ball after replacing Sveindís Jane Jónsdóttir.
But Pina curled in a free-kick for her second and seventh of the campaign in the 77th minute and Mapi León netted the sixth from a long-distance free-kick in stoppage time.
