Comment from Alexia Putellas after she lifts women's Ballon D'Or

Alexia Putellas became the third winner of the women's Ballon D'Or after an outstanding season with Barcelona and Spain.

Putellas helped Barca win the treble and scored 26 goals in 42 games overall.

The midfielder netted in the Champions League final against Chelsea, and in August she was named UEFA women’s player of the year.

The only previous women’s award winners are Norway striker Ada Hegerberg in 2018, and U.S. forward Megan Rapinoe in 2019. The 2020 awards were cancelled because the coronavirus pandemic disrupted the season.
