• by Mike Woitalla  @MikeWoitalla, Apr 22, 2022

The Barcelona women's team -- the defending Champions League winners that again drew more than 90,000 -- wasn't a pro entity until 2015 and didn't become an official part of the club until 2002. In this 13-minute piece, "DW Kick off!" goes to Spain's second biggest city for a colorful report on the rise of Barcelona Femeni.

On Friday, Barcelona drew 91,648 for its 5-1 Champions League first-leg, semifinal win over VfL Wolfsburg. (Three weeks ago, Barcelona Femeni drew 91,553 for its quarterfinal against Real Madrid.)
