Alexia Putellas has done it again. The Spanish maestro picked up her third Ballon d'Or Féminin in London, completing one of the most impressive comebacks in women's football history.
Her previous triumphs came in 2021 and 2022 during a dazzling spell at Barcelona. Then everything went sideways.
An anterior cruciate ligament tear struck just before Euro 2022, threatening to derail her career entirely. She fought her way back and helped Spain lift the World Cup - but the headlines belonged to teammate Aitana Bonmatí, who stole the show.
Lesser players might have settled for a supporting role. Putellas had other plans.
In a bold twist, she swapped Barcelona for London City Lionesses - a fully independent club competing in England's top flight. Putellas has described the move as a total life overhaul, encompassing new language, new culture, and fresh challenges, as reported by Flashscore.
Her arrival has given the English Women's Super League an immediate jolt. The Lionesses are performing strongly in the standings, and Putellas is determined to instil a winning mentality at her new club.
Three Ballons d'Or, a World Cup, and a brand-new adventure. Not bad for someone who was told her best days might be behind her.
