Two of the first women's football teams in Spain, they first played against each other on 28 March 1971; in the 20th century, derby games were heavily contested and the teams became two of the most successful in Spain.[4] In the 21st century, the teams have generally experienced opposite fortunes, with Espanyol thriving while Barcelona battled relegation up until 2012 – the year Espanyol lifted the Copa de la Reina and Barcelona won the league – and then Barcelona began its domination and Espanyol struggled.[4][5] In January 2021, the derby was held at the Camp Nou to celebrate 50 years since the first game, also played at the stadium.[6] At the end of this season, Espanyol was relegated and Barcelona won a continental treble, both for the first time.[7]
