Two of the first women's football teams in Spain, Barcelona and Espanyol 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] Espanyol won the first Catalan league in 1972,[5] and Barcelona won it in 1973.[6]

In the 21st century, the teams have generally experienced opposite fortunes, first with Espanyol thriving while Barcelona battled relegation, a period lasting until 2012 – the year Espanyol lifted the Copa de la Reina and Barcelona won the league – before Barcelona began its domination and Espanyol struggled.[4][7] In January 2021, the derby was held at the Camp Nou to celebrate 50 years since the first game, also played at the stadium.[8] At the end of this season, Espanyol was relegated and Barcelona won a continental treble, both for the first time.[9]

Players who played for both sides

Marta Torrejón has spent more than a decade each at both Espanyol and Barcelona; has captained both teams; and has won titles for both teams in finals played against the other

There have been many players who have appeared for both Barcelona and Espanyol. In the 21st century, significant overlap was caused when Barcelona restructured their women's section in 2006–07. The youth teams were disbanded, with many of the 80 young players taken into Espanyol's stronger youth structure,[10][11] and the women's team struggled, causing players to leave, including to Espanyol.[12] There was also a significant player migration in the opposite direction in 2009 after Espanyol dismissed player Noemí Rubio due to her being a supporter of Barcelona, and Barcelona signed her and other players leaving the club.[13][14]
