FC Barcelona Women's team win overshadowed by medal fiasco

In the Queen's Cup final, FC Barcelona's female footballers thrashed Real Sociedad 8-0. However, it was not just the final result that caused a stir but also what happened after the final whistle. There was no medal or trophy ceremony, as the Spanish federation botched the matter.

Currently, the men's team of FC Barcelona no longer ranks among the best teams in Europe. It is different in the case of the women's team, which is performing remarkably well. This season, they managed to achieve a double in their domestic arena.

The female footballers secured the Spanish championship a few weeks ago. Meanwhile, on Saturday (18 May), they emerged as the best in the cup competition, completely crushing Real Sociedad 8-0.

After the final, the match gained much attention, not only because of the final result. A scandalous incident resonated widely in Spain and across the world.

The final whistle of this match meant that FC Barcelona’s female players were waiting for the decoration. Ultimately, however, it did not happen at all. The Spanish federation (RFEF) did not send any delegation to this match, only two bags with medals.

As a result, the players of the Spanish club had to put the medals on themselves, which they could scarcely believe. The recording of this incident was published by "Mundo Deportivo". The president of the club, Joan Laporta, who was present at the final match, had the opportunity to witness the entire situation.
