Last season was a difficult one for Alexia Putellas, the talented player of Women's Barça. Due to a knee injury, she was unable to play for part of the season and was unable to compete for the Ballon d'Or.
However, the captain of Women's Barça has returned in the best possible way. Alexia is back to her best and is showing that even though she hasn't won the Ballon d'Or, she's still one of the best footballers in the world.
A Triumphant Return
This past weekend the Estadi Johan Cruyff was the scene of an exciting match between FC Barcelona and Eibar, where the team won 4-0. This victory was very special, especially because Aitana Bonmatí, Caroline Graham Hansen and Salma Paralluelo were acknowledged on the podium of the Ballon d'Or.
The three Barça players were key to the four titles won last season. Although Alexia wasn't on that list, her performance on the field is still very important for the team.
A Goal that Makes History
Alexia Putellas standed out from the start of the match. In the 6th minute, she scored a goal that made her excel even more in the history of the club. This goal was the 198th of her career with Barcelona, and places her in an exclusive group of top scorers, equaling the legend Luis Suárez.
The footballer continues to make history with the Barça jersey and score goals for the team. With her 198 goals, Alexia is behind César Rodríguez, who has 232, and Leo Messi, who has 672. If she continues playing like this, she could soon be the second highest scorer in the history of Barcelona and who knows, in the future, she could surpass Leo Messi.
The Future is Assured with Alexia Putellas
Despite not winning the Ballon d'Or, Alexia Putellas remains a key player for Women's Barça. The player renewed her contract this year and has a contract until 2026, which indicates that her future at the club is bright.
Her evolution as a player and her ability to overcome obstacles are an inspiration to many. Alexia doesn't just play soccer; she also represents perseverance and commitment.
