Barcelona secures dominant six-goal victory away against Roma

Barcelona cruised to a resounding 6-0 victory against Roma away from home, building strong momentum in the Champions League following an earlier win over Paris FC. Caroline Graham Hansen opened the scoring in the 19th minute by driving from midfield and finishing past goalkeeper Baldi. The visitors doubled their lead in the 39th minute when Oladipo turned the ball into her own net following a build-up involving Esmee Brugts and Clàudia Pina.

Clara Serrajordi regained possession in the 54th minute to set up Ewa Pajor, who scored Barcelona's third goal with a cross shot. Graham Hansen added her second of the match just six minutes later with a sharp change of pace before stroking home the fourth. Pina then secured her own brace in the 75th minute with a right-footed shot from outside the box that deflected into the high centre of the goal. Pajor completed the 6-0 rout in the 85th minute, netting her third Champions League goal of the season from the centre of the box following a headed pass from substitute Renee van Asten.
