🚨 Barcelona seal domestic double with Copa de la Reina victory
Barcelona Femení claimed a domestic double after a 2-0 win over Atlético de Madrid in the Copa de la Reina final. Scorers: Pina 25', 75' Clàudia Pina broke the deadlock midway through the first half by meeting Ewa Pajor's cutback to the edge of the penalty area and firing past Lola Gallardo. Advertisement Atleti's attempted fightback after the interval saw Gio Garbelini almost haunt her old club by seizing on a Cata Coll error but was denied by an offside call in the build-up. Pina compounded the Colchoneros' misery by claiming a brace with a sublime first-time volley after the ball broke for her from a half-clearance just outside the box. The Blaugrana have now won the Copa five times in the previous six seasons and extended their record as the competition's most successful team with 11 victories. 📸 JOSEP LAGO - AFP or licensors
