Barcelona, a vintage team with an insatiable hunger, recovered this Saturday in La Romareda the only great national throne that it was missing. The blaugranas overwhelmed Real Sociedad on a sunny afternoon in which they excelled in football to lift their tenth Queen’s Cup. The win and the dominance were so, so overwhelming that the match ended at half an hour with no further plot than discovering how many goals Barça was going to score. Ona Batlle scored the first in the 5th minute after a formidable pass between the lines from Claudia Pina. Batlle, the left back, put in a low cross, but a mistake by Vanegas in the clearance left her free. As soon as the scoreboard opened, Real broke down. The txuri-urdin, who had lost the two previous matches against their rival with a score of ten goals to one, were not able to respond with an alternative to a rival so superior that they monopolized the ball and the game from start to finish and imposed one of the biggest goals in history in a national tournament final. After having won the League and the Super Cup, the team led by Jonatan Giráldez is already celebrating a treble in the absence of fighting for the Champions League next Saturday against Lyon in San Mamés, where it can raise a historic record – a Spanish club has never done so – as finishing touch to a season that would be perfect.

The match was so peaceful for Barça that not even Sandra Paños, who will leave the club at the end of the season after nine years and a fabulous resume, had to make a stop. The goalkeeper said goodbye in a final – Cata Coll will probably play in Bilbao – with a performance in which she only needed to catch a couple of lateral crosses and intervene on several occasions with her feet to take a goal kick or participate in the release of the ball.
Barça controlled the ball in an almost tyrannical way. The midfield, with Patri Guijarro, Aitana Bonmatí and Pina, combined so quickly and with such success that they always found Salma Paralluelo and Graham Hansen on the wings in advantageous positions and Mariona all over the field to nullify the five-man defense that he proposed. Natalia Arroyo. Mariona, who played as a nine, had a formidable game — she was chosen MVP — in which she gave three assists and scored two goals. The Balearic attacker dropped again and again, knocked down walls and made the entire Barça attack flow. His was the cross from the right wing with which Paralluelo, back home, scored the second goal with a great header.

The Aragonese woman was about to score the third with a shot from outside the area. Lete Para stopped the shot, but the ball was left open in the small area and Hansen scored at will. The Norwegian, in a fantastic season, also scored the fourth with a pass from Salma. Before the break, Mariona rounded off her performance with another assist for Batlle and scored his first goal as soon as she came out of the locker room. In the midst of a choral performance by Barça, their recital continued with another assist for Pina and a final goal in the 58th minute to close a win that at times had a cruel tinge as it revealed the difference in level between both teams and the hegemony of the Catalans in national competitions. The Barça dominance is so overwhelming in Spain that this season they have won every game except for a draw against Levante.
In the preview, Giráldez denied that next Saturday’s match against Lyon was going to influence the attitude of his players. He didn’t do it, but he did in the lineup. The Galician coach reserved Keira Walsh and Fridolina Rolfö for the start – he gave them minutes in the second half – thinking about the clash against the French and retired the current Ballon d’Or winner, Bonmatí, at half-time – already with a five-goal advantage. to give minutes to Alexia Putellas. The captain, after playing the entire second half, lifted the Cup at the hands of Queen Letizia in a stadium dyed in Barça color and in which the fans txuri-urdin He remained until the end giving encouragement to his players at the Barça party.
The team led by Giráldez regained the title in Zaragoza that eluded them last year after being knocked out in the round of 16 due to improper alignment against Osasuna. Since 2020, that has been the only major concession that has been made in Spain by a team that dominates national competitions with an iron fist – it has won five consecutive leagues – that has won two Champions Leagues (2023 and 2021) and that in exactly one week can close what would be the best season in the club’s history if it wins four titles for the first time.
