Chelsea beat Manchester United in FA Cup final to seal domestic treble
Bompastor had already led the Blues to league cup glory and a sixth successive Women's Super League title in her first season in charge at Chelsea, who became the first side to go through a 22-match WSL campaign without a loss.
Baltimore opened the scoring with a penalty on the stroke of half-time then provided the assist for Catarina Macario to make it 2-0 when she nodded home with six minutes remaining in the second half.

France international Baltimore denied holders United any chance of a comeback when she lashed home at the start of 10 minutes added time to cap off the triumph.
England boss Sarina Wiegman was watching on at Wembley, where Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian, who four days ago announced he had purchased a minority stake in Chelsea's women's side, took in the win alongside wife and 23-time tennis grand slam singles winner Serena Williams.
The contest got off to a cagey start, United with the slight advantage after winning a few set-pieces and forcing Hannah Hampton – battling Mary Earps to be England's first-choice keeper at July's Euros – to palm away Grace Clinton's corner.
Aggie Beever-Jones, who has enjoyed a splendid season with the WSL champions, was able to beat Millie Turner's challenge, but it did take the sting out of her effort, which was comfortably saved by Phallon Tullis-Joyce.
Chelsea then dealt with a cross at the other end of the pitch, but it was only cleared as far as the unmarked Dominique Janssen, who missed a big chance to hand United the lead when she fired just over the crossbar.
Mayra Ramirez made easy work of the United defence, skipping freely around a collection of red shirts and forcing Tullis-Joyce to react quickly before Lucy Bronze could take advantage and prod home.
The American keeper denied Beever-Jones again, this time diving to stop an effort that curled dangerously close to her right post.
But the Blues soon took the lead after Erin Cuthbert was brought down by Celin Bizet, who caught the Scotland international with a boot to the midriff.

Baltimore picked out the bottom left with her spot-kick, and Tullis-Joyce dove the wrong way.
United substitute Ella Toone, who came on for Turner after the restart, got herself involved quickly, stinging Hampton's palms.
Bompastor made her first change shortly after the hour, replacing Ramirez with Macario, and United narrowly escaped conceding a second when Gabby George nearly turned a cross into her own net.
VAR silenced United's protests for a penalty, arguing Hampton had unjustly impeded Elisabeth Terland, before Beever-Jones missed a golden chance to double the Blues' advantage, skying an effort after she was teed up by Macario's backheel.
United States international Macario then added her own name to the scoresheet, rising highest amongst a sea of red shirts to meet Baltimore's free-kick and powering her header past Tullis-Joyce.
But the Blues were not finished scoring, and Baltimore bagged her brace, lashing home moments after 10 minutes of added time were announced.

Chelsea halt negotiations with Milan for Mike Maignan after failing to agree fee
Chelsea have cooled their interest in Mike Maignan after failing to agree a fee with Milan for the goalkeeper before the Club World Cup. The Stamford Bridge club, who are also pursuing a deal for the Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens, commenced talks with Milan after being presented with an opportunity to sign Maignan. The France international has a year left on his deal and has indicated that he wants to join Chelsea. Chelsea's hope has been to push transfers for Maignan and Gittens through before Tuesday's 7pm BST registration deadline for the group stages of the Club World Cup, which begins on Sunday. However, the Uefa Conference League winners were not willing to overpay for Maignan given that the 29-year-old will be available on a free transfer next summer. They were willing to pay around €15m (£12.7m) for the former Lille goalkeeper, with Milan demanding €25m. The clubs have been unable to reach an agreement and negotiations have ended for now. There remains a chance that Chelsea will revisit the situation with Maignan later this summer. The transfer window reopens on Monday, enabling teams in the Club World Cup to register new players for the tournament's knockout phase. Maignan can discuss a pre-contract with foreign clubs from next January. Chelsea, who travel to the USA on Friday and play LAFC in their opening game in Atlanta on Monday, have refused to be pressured into meeting Milan's demands. They remain happy with their quartet of goalkeepers, Robert Sánchez, Filip Jorgensen, Djordje Petrovic and Mike Penders. Sánchez excelled at the end of last season, recovering from a dip in form to help Enzo Maresca's side qualify for the Champions League. There is huge excitement about Penders following the highly rated 19-year-old's arrival from Genk. Marcus Bettinelli, Chelsea's current No 3, is joining Manchester City. The Blues who have already boosted their attack by signing Liam Delap for £30m, are also looking for a right-footed left winger. They have had a bid rejected for Gittens but are relaxed about the situation. The 20-year-old has agreed a seven-year contract with Chelsea but Dortmund, who are also in the Club World Cup, want up to £50m for the England Under-21 international.

Man Utd transfer target's reason for rejecting them twice speaks volumes
Adrien Rabiot shed light on being closely linked with a Manchester United move over several years, highlighting the reason he rejected the Red Devils despite holding positive discussions Marseille star Adrien Rabiot has revealed how he twice rejected a Manchester United move despite holding progressive talks with the club. The midfielder, 30, cited the club's fall from grace as the reason, saying 'they're in a bit of a hole'. Rabiot made 31 appearances in his first campaign with Marseille this season. He helped them secure a spot in next season's Champions League by finishing a distant second in Ligue 1 to his former side, Paris Saint-Germain. Yet, Rabiot's career could have taken a very different path both last year and once previously. In an interview with The Athletic, he revealed details surrounding his positive discussions with United on two occasions before ultimately deciding against a move to Old Trafford. The France international said: "It really could have happened two years ago, when I was coming to the end of my contract at Juventus and I finally decided to extend by a year. "We had great talks, and there were written offers. But in the end, it didn't happen. Last year as well, when I was free, they came back in again. I had good talks with them again. "But it's true that it was a bit tricky. The situation they're in at the moment… I felt a bit of reticence about whether United were going to be able to go on and achieve great things. They're in a bit of a hole at the moment." Both of United's approaches to Rabiot came during Erik ten Hag's tenure as manager. The first time United reached out to the Frenchman, they had failed in pursuit of Barcelona 's Frenkie de Jong the previous summer. And last season, United were again in dire need of a central midfielder to play alongside Casemiro or Kobbie Mainoo. After being turned down by Rabiot, they shifted their focus to signing Manuel Ugarte instead. The Red Devils forked out £42million on the Uruguayan, who had a mixed first season in the Premier League. Rabiot's arrival would have been made even more complicated by the appointment of Ruben Amorim last November after Ten Hag was sacked. Under Amorim, he would have had to become used to playing in an entirely new formation – Amorim's trademark 3-4-3. The Marseille player would no doubt have been keeping a close eye on United's dire state of affairs this season, where Amorim guided them to their worst ever Premier League finish down in 15th place.
