Unai Laso and Jon Ander Albisu are the champions of the 2025-2026 Couples Championship after defeating Jokin Altuna and Joseba Ezkurdiz 16-22in the final played in the Navarra Arena. The Baiko couple has always carried the script of the game and have relied on the fatigue of Aspe's zaguero to win.

The match has started with a lot of intensity, asit has taken 48 balls to score the first so much, which Laso has finished. Both couples have certainly not wanted to risk, and the first few have been very long. However, the blues have taken the lead on the scoreboard, but without Altuna and Ezkurdia going too far (3-5).

Amezketa's strikers have put the reds ahead on the scoreboard for the first time (6-5). Laso and Albisu have pulled back all the balls they could, trying to tire Ezkurdia and knock Altuna out of the game. The voles have been the main response of Aspe's pelotari, who has been able to withstand the attack well (7-9).

Laso and Albisu have set the script for the many, but so many balls have slowed down as they have progressed. This has been evident on the court, where several have been decided by mistakes rather than by the merit of the pelotaris (9-12).

The fatigue of Ezkurdia has been evident in the first break, and the blues have continued along the same path to take advantage of it. Laso and Albisu's game has been obvious, until everything has failed (10-15) .

The Blue Grains have escaped with five in a row (10-18), but Altuna and Ezkurdia have not given up, they have done three to make their rivals nervous (13-18).

At that point, mistakes have reappeared. Altuna has tried to play the game with his hooks, and has even done a great bit (15-19).

The last few have regained their initial vitality, and the rivalry has remained tight until Laso and Albisu have made the final score (16-22) .
