It's incredible but true: Alexia Putellas and Thierry Henry, two iconic figures of FC Barcelona, have shared a moment that is already causing a lot of talk. Both represent the best of the club in different eras and disciplines, and their meeting has been a source of joy for the fans.
Alexia Putellas, the current star of the Women's Barça's team and two-time Ballon d'Or winner, is in the prime of her career. With 200 goals to her name, she is the third highest scorer in the history of the club. Thierry Henry, on the other hand, was a key player for the Barça men's team in one of its most glorious periods, leaving his mark with his elegance and talent.
A Moment That Remains in Memory
The meeting between these two figures took place in a bar in Barcelona to promote the Lay's brand. Both enjoyed a match of the Spanish National Team surrounded by fans.
A video posted on social media shows Alexia and Henry sharing laughs and a few Lay's, while fans can't hide their excitement. “Having a great time with Thierry Henry and the fans,” Alexia commented on her social media.
The legendary Barça player, Henry, did not hesitate to dedicate a few words to Alexia Putellas.
“She is an exceptional footballer. I would've loved to play with her,” said the former French player, who is remembered for his ability to create unforgettable plays. Alexia responded with humility and a sense of humour: “We would be a good duo, lots of assists and goals.”
The union of generations
The meeting between Alexia Putellas and Thierry Henry is not a simple coincidence. For Barça fans, it symbolises the connection between two generations that have marked the history of the club.
Henry represents the glorious past of the men's team, while Alexia leads the present and future of the women's team. Together, they show that the essence of Barça transcends gender and era.
Alexia Putellas, a queen on and off the field
With these kinds of moments, Alexia Putellas proves that she is an icon on and off the field. Her charisma and talent not only shine on the field, but also in initiatives and collaborations that connect sport with its fans.
FC Barcelona proves, once again, that its greatness lies not only in its history, but in its ability to reinvent itself. And, as this match confirms, its legends are more alive than ever.
