Barcelona produced another emphatic Clásico display as they thrashed Real Madrid for the third time in nine days to book a semi-final spot in the Women's Champions League.
The three-time winners had all but secured their place in the last four with a dominant 6-2 victory in Madrid last Wednesday.
But they rubbed more salt in their rivals' wounds in the second leg at a sold-out Nou Camp, with 60,067 fans watching as they scored another six to win 12-2 on aggregate.
It comes just four days after Barcelona beat Real 3-0 in Liga F to move 13 points clear at the top of Spain's top division.
It was fitting that captain Alexia Putellas opened the scoring on her 500th appearance for the club, poking home a rebound in the eighth minute after Misa Rodriguez saved Ewa Pajor's initial strike.
From there, the floodgates opened, with goals from Caroline Graham Hansen, Irene Paredes and Ewa Pajor stretching the hosts' lead to 4-0 before half-time.
Graham Hansen lobbed Rodriguez for her second of the evening early in the second half, before Esme Brugts completed the rout with an easy tap-in.
Real Madrid looked disoriented at the back, while their failure to manage a shot on target at the other end summed up a humbling evening.
Barcelona have now won 24 of their 25 meetings with Real in all competitions.
The Catalan club will face Bayern Munich in the semi-finals after the German side knocked out Manchester United with a 5-3 win on aggregate on Wednesday.
