FC Barcelona officially received the Liga F championship trophy following a dominant 5-0 victory against Levante at the Johan Cruyff Stadium on Wednesday evening, May 6, 2026. The result mathematically confirmed Levante’s first-ever relegation to the second-tier Primera Federación after a difficult season.
Vicky López opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a long-range strike, setting the tone for a match controlled by the hosts despite heavy rotations by manager Pere Romeu. Claudia Pina extended the lead with goals in the 34th and 50th minutes, marking her 19th league goal of the campaign as reported by Ara.
The second half saw additional goals from Carla Juliá in the 66th minute and Sydney Schertenleib in the 86th minute to complete the rout. According to Eurosport, the victory came as Barcelona rested several key starters following their recent qualification for the Champions League final in Oslo.
The evening was marred by new injury concerns for the Catalan side as Aïcha Camara was forced to leave the pitch with a hamstring injury 15 minutes before the final whistle. This followed a pre-match announcement that star winger Caroline Graham Hansen is also recovering from an adductor injury sustained against Bayern Munich.
Levante entered the fixture needing points to avoid the drop, sitting 10 points behind safety with only eight points total this season. The loss ends their long-standing tenure in the top flight, a history that includes four league titles and six domestic cups as noted by Marca.
Barcelona fans used the occasion to vocalize support for Mapi León and Alexia Putellas, whose futures at the club remain uncertain. Aitana Bonmatí also featured as a second-half substitute to gain match fitness following a five-month absence due to injury.
