Sportshour takes in a historic night for women’s football at the Camp Nou

from Not by the Playbook · host BBC World Service

We reflect on history being made in the Women’s Champions League after a record crowd of 91,553 people attended the second-leg of Barcelona’s quarter-final against Real Madrid at the Camp Nou. Maz was at the game and we hear from fans, Ballon d’Or winner Alexis Putellas, and from the club about their vision for women’s football moving forward. Courtney Winfield-Hill tells us about her plans to represent England at the Rugby League World Cup. The Australian-born former cricketer tells us she feels at home in England and how she’ll be supporting her wife, England batter Lauren Winfield-Hill, in Sunday’s Cricket World Cup final against Australia. Liz Mills discusses being a pioneer in men’s basketball in Africa. Mills is the only woman coaching at this season's Basketball Africa League - which is a joint NBA-FIBA competition. She's leading Morocco's AS Sale - which also makes her the first female coach in the Arab World. She previously made history by leading Kenya at the men's AfroBasket in 2021. This weekend the iconic University Boat Race - between Oxford and Cambridge - is back on the River Thames in London the first time since 2019. Lebby Eyres, will compete in the veterans race and she tells us about the significance of the race and how she rowed across the Atlantic Ocean recently, while Siobhan Cassidy from the organisers of the race tells us who to look out for in a field stacked with Olympians. Mani Djazmi joins us live from Qatar to reflect on the draw for the Fifa Men’s World Cup, Juliette Ferrington is live at Anfield ahead of Liverpool’s game against Watford and Iain Carter brings us the latest on the Chevron Championship.(Photo by Eric Alonso/Getty Images)
