Sonia Bermúdez took over as coach of the world champions from Montse Tomé (who had led them through the league stage) after Spain lost the Women's EURO 2025 final on penalties to England (the team they had pipped to the Nations League last four). In her first two matches, Bermúdez oversaw a comfortable semi-final defeat of Sweden in which Mapi León and Jenni Hermoso returned to the squad, with Alexia Putellas scoring three goals over the two legs.
Cata Coll starred in goal as Spain drew the first leg of the final 0-0 against Germany in Kaiserslautern. However, the return at the Estadio Metropolitano proved to be a different matter, despite the blow of Aitana Bonmatí breaking her leg in training between the two matches.
Watched by a record home crowd of 55,843, Spain had the better of the first half and stepped up a further gear in the second. Clàudia Pina struck either side of a goal from Aitana's replacement Vicky López, with all three goals coming in a 14-minute spell just past the hour.
It meant the reigning world champions kept up their monopoly of the trophy, having also won the inaugural 2023/24 edition, while Clàudia Pina ended as both the finals top scorer on four goals and joint-leader for the season with Belgium's Tessa Wullaert on eight. Alexia Putellas was named Player of the Finals.
