Caroline Weir scored two late goals as Real Madrid beat Barcelona 3-1 at the Olympic Stadium on Sunday to secure their first-ever Clásico win and keep alive their faint title hopes.
Weir came off the bench to turn home Linda Caicedo’s cutback in the 87th minute and added her second in stoppage time to move Madrid within four points of Liga F leaders Barça with seven games to go.
Caroline Graham Hansen had earlier cancelled out Alba Redondo’s opener and there was controversy just before Weir’s first goal when a Jana Fernández strike was ruled out for offside.

Replays showed no one was even close to being offside in the build-up, but with no VAR in use in Liga F, the on-pitch decision stood.
Weir’s late show then ensured Madrid earned their first-ever victory over Barça, ending a a run of 18 successive defeats in the Clásico since the team was formed in 2020.
