They played Bayern, and Hamraoui bagged an important away goal in the first leg with a low shot to the bottom left corner. In the return leg at the Mini Estadi, Barcelona increased their aggregate score after a goal scored from a penalty, but Hamraoui found herself getting sent off after receiving a second yellow card.

Assault incident

On 4 November 2021, Hamraoui was assaulted in the street after two masked men dragged her from a club-issued car, assaulting her with iron bars. Her teammate Aminata Diallo, who was driving the car, was arrested following the incident; she was later released from police custody without any charges. During the attack, the masked men who assaulted Hamraoui were reported to have said "so like that, [you] sleep with married men?" On 19 November, Eric Abidal's wife Hayet announced that she had filed for divorce after it came to light that he was having an affair with Hamraoui. However, after further investigation, Diallo was re-arrested in September 2022 on charges of serious bodily harm.
