Key Points
The club secured its second Quadruple, seventh straight league title, and twelfth Copa de la Reina crown

The Copa de la Reina final against Atlético Madrid drew more than 26,000 spectators to Gran Canaria, setting a new attendance record for the tournament. Pina, Brugts, and Paralluelo all found the net before halftime, while Pina scored in her fourth consecutive Copa de la Reina final.

Record sixth final and victory in Oslo

Behind every victory this season was a story. In November, Aitana Bonmatí, a three-time Ballon d'Or winner, suffered an injury that kept her sidelined for five months. The team continued winning without her, and when Bonmatí finally returned for the Champions League semifinal against Bayern Munich, Spotify Camp Nou gave her a welcome worthy of a legend. Barcelona advanced 5-3 on aggregate: Paralluelo opened the scoring, Putellas netted twice, and Pajor sealed the win in the closing minutes. FC Barcelona Femení reached its sixth consecutive Champions League final – the first club in women's football history to do so.

On May 23 in Oslo, Barcelona crushed Lyon 4-0 in the final. Pajor opened the scoring in the 55th minute and doubled it in the 69th, while Paralluelo added two more goals in stoppage time. Ewa Pajor was named the MVP of the final and the tournament's top scorer, with 11 goals in 10 matches. A fourth European title in six years. After Gothenburg, Eindhoven, and Bilbao, now Oslo. Five Barcelona players were named to the Team of the Season UWCL: Cata Coll, Mapi León, Patri Guijarro, Alexia Putellas, and Ewa Pajor.

World’s best again and again

Over the past five years, the Ballon d'Or Féminin has consistently gone to Barcelona – Alexia Putellas won it twice, and Aitana Bonmatí claimed it three times. History could repeat itself at the end of the 2025/26 season, with the club’s four players among the top contenders. Putellas enjoyed one of the best campaigns of her career, recording 7 goals and 7 assists in the Champions League. Ewa Pajor scored in every knockout phase match, including the victorious final. Caroline Graham Hansen finished the Liga F season with 10 assists, and Claudia Pina currently leads the league scoring charts with 20 goals. The ceremony will take place on October 26, 2026, in Paris, and Barcelona will once again have reasons to celebrate!
