The FC Barcelona Women's team lifted the Copa de la Reina after defeating Atlético de Madrid at the Estadio de Gran Canaria, further cementing their dominance in national football.

Under the guidance of Pere Romeu, the team once again showcased their superiority by beating Atlético de Madrid 3-1 in the final held at the Estadio de Gran Canaria. Goals from Claudia Pina, Esmee Brugts, and Salma Paralluelo in the first half sealed the victory, marking the Catalan team's nineteenth national title out of the last twenty-one contested.
The recent history between the two clubs, characterized by thirteen consecutive wins for Barça against Atlético, significantly influenced the match. Despite the Madrid team's defensive strategy, Barça found ways to reach the goal defended by Lola Gallardo, creating advantages on the wings and enabling the influential Claudia Pina.
After halftime, Barça's dominance persisted, with Patri Guijarro excelling in ball recovery and the team creating numerous scoring opportunities. Although Atlético managed to reduce the deficit from an isolated play by Boe Risa, Barça controlled the final score, securing their sixth Copa de la Reina in the last seven editions and building confidence for the Champions League final.
