Barcelona Femeni once again looking to break records
Women’s football has been neglected for a long time. Although football is considered as the most popular sport in the world, the disparity between the popularity of the male version and the female version is alarming. Not only does the female side get lower payments but they also get lower viewership due to unjustified prejudice formed via a patriarchal society that continues to embed gender norms within the community. This, however, has been completely flipped by the Barcelona Femeni side, the current champions of Europe. In their latest match against Real Madrid, the Catalans managed to pull in a whopping 91 thousand fans to the stadium and they are looking to break that record already.
