So it came to pass, and then it went. On Saturday, May 25th, Barcelona Femeni proved the fan “theory of three” to be true, and took home their third European title. And all in style.
Alexia Putellas
. For nineteen year old footballer Júlia Bartel from Castellbisbal, Spain, life consists of having two of the most prestigious professional women’s football clubs in Europe vying for her ability. A product of La Masia (Barcelona’s youth academy), a FIFA U-20 World Cup Winner in 2022, and a top emerging talent in the world of women’s football (who is most likely moving to England), life can be pretty successful at nineteen.
While other European women’s football fans wait anxiously for the end of June to know…
“Those who don’t follow women’s football might think it’s a clásico; those that do, know it’s not.” is how eternal Barça Femení captain Vicky Losada described the so-called rivalry between her team and Real Madrid Femenino in 2021.

“After nine years defending the goal of the best team in the world, the time has come to end this stage.”
We’ve made it to a new year. New goals, new challenges, new competition, new trophies. And for Barcelona Femeni, this superstar team is no stranger to Copa de la Reina, “the Queen’s Cup”. Held annually and hosted by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Copa de la Reina is a playoff style elimination competition between clubs in Spain from different divisions of leagues.
