​A record crowd over 60,000 fans turned out to watch Atlético Femenino take on Barcelona Femenino on Saturday afternoon at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium on Sunday afternoon.

This landmark moment is just one of many this season, as the rapid rise of women’s football continues to gather momentum, with the upcoming 2019 Women’s World Cup set to be a landmark moment for the game.
