The Blues defeated the Red Devils 3-0. Sandy Baltimore scored two goals, and Catarina Macario scored one. Chelsea Women have secured a domestic treble with this FA Cup, having previously won the Women’s Super League (WSL) and Women’s League Cup in the 2024-25 season under the leadership of new manager, Sonia Bompastor.

He has even started a women-only athletic event, Athlos, for upcoming women athletes to showcase their talent and get further opportunities.
