Barcelona brush aside Real Madrid to make Women's Champions League semis

Barcelona blasted their way into the semi-finals of the Women's Champions League with a 6-0 thrashing of Real Madrid to give them a whopping ​12-2 aggregate victory over their Spanish rivals on Thursday, setting them up for ‌a last-four clash with German side Bayern Munich, Reuters reported. 

They will be joined in the semis by OL Lyonnes (formerly Olympique Lyonnais), who beat Bayern's compatriots VfL Wolfsburg 4-1 on aggregate after extra time to put them ​through to a meeting with reigning champions Arsenal.

Already leading 6-2 after last week's first ​leg, Barca showed no mercy in the second against Madrid, Alexia Putellas ⁠opening the scoring in the eighth minute and Caroline Graham Hansen adding a second seven ​minutes later to snuff out any hopes Madrid might have had of making a comeback, according to Reuters.
