The excitement generated by Atletico Madrid hosting Madrid CFF in the Primera Division Femenina de Futbol's new derbi fixture last weekend has further highlighted the out-of-touch stance of Real Madrid towards the women's game.
On Saturday afternoon, a crowd of over 22,000 witnessed France international Aurelie Kaci become the first woman to score an official goal at the Atletico's Wanda Metropolitano when she cracked home the opener from 25 yards. Teammate Marta Corredera was also on the scoresheet but Madrid CFF's striker Jade Boho scored twice against her old team to gain a draw for the visitors.
