Football News: Barcelona's Star Alexia Putellas wins women's Ballon 2022

Alexia Putellas, FC Barcelona midfielder, has won the most prestigious women's Ballon d'Or award for the second year in a row. Now Spaniard Alexia Putellas won the title in 2021 and 2022, making her the first woman to win the Ballon d'Or twice in a row since 2018 when FIFA and France Football officially established the award.

Success For The Second Year Running

The Barcelona football player rightfully received this award, as in the 2021-2022 season, the midfielder scored 18 goals and gave 15 assists in just 26 Primera Division matches. With these results, Alexia Putellas helped Barcelona finish the season with 30 wins in 30 games, a colossal result that led Alexia Putellas and Barcelona to the titles.

It is also worth noting that the 28-year-old Spanish midfielder took part in the Women's Champions League, in which she was able to score 11 goals and make two assists. But unfortunately, Barcelona lost in the final of the Champions League for women to Lyon in Turin with a score of 1-3.

The achievements of Alexia Putellas do not end there. She is a Spanish midfielder who also received many personal awards in the 2021-2022 season. The Spanish midfielder was named UEFA Player of the Year and named to the Champions League Team of the Season.

For her achievements during the season, Alexia was invited to the Spanish women's football team to participate in the championship at Euro 2022. But unfortunately, the midfielder was injured. Although everything turned out to be very serious, the anterior cruciate ligament was injured. Sad to say, but the treatment and rehabilitation will last long enough because the team's leading player was excluded from the opportunity to play in the tournament. Due to the injury, Alexia Putellas will not be able to play for either the Spanish women's football team or Barcelona in the 2022-2023 season for some time. Doctors predict that the Spanish midfielder will be able to return to the field only after 2-3 months.

Despite this, the excellent game and dominance on the field helped Alexia Putellas win the most prestigious prize for individual skill, the Ballon d'Or, in the first half of the season. The Spaniard, even despite the injury and missing part of the season, was able to get around the closest competitor from Arsenal, Beth Mead.

The Spanish midfielder herself is optimistic about her injury, she told reporters that the recovery is going well, but she is not yet ready to return to the game.

Alexia Putellas became the third winner of the Ballon d'Or in the history of this ceremony. In 2018, the first to receive this award was Ada Martine Stolsmo Hegerberg. In 2019, Megan Anna Rapinoe received the Ballon d'Or.

This year's trophy competition has been challenging, with Arsenal's Bethany Jane Mead in second place with 152 points. She was the competition's best scorer with six goals but also made five assists and helped her team win a historic first major tournament for the England women's national team. Also, 27-year-old player scored 11 goals in 22 Women's Super League matches last season for FC Arsenal. And Chelsea's Samantha May Kerr in third place with 74 points. Australian attacker Kerr was crucial to the team success in pipping Arsenal to the league title. She scored 20 goals in 20 matches. Alexia Putellas, in turn, scored 178 points. The record holder for points is Megan Anna Rapinoe, who scored 230 points in 2019.

Lena Oberdorf and Aitana Bonmati were able to take fourth and fifth places, while 2018 Ballon d'Or winner Ada Martine Stolsmo Hegerberg came in at number 7 on the list.
