A huge chapter in the history of women’s football is coming to an end at FC Barcelona. After 14 seasons wearing the Blaugrana shirt, Alexia Putellas officially announced her departure from the Catalan club this Tuesday.
Barça are losing one of their biggest stars. Alexia Putellas is leaving the club in a surprise move. A two-time Ballon d’Or winner and a true Barcelona legend, the 32-year-old Spanish international revealed the news in a video posted on her social media accounts. “Fourteen seasons and more than 500 matches, with moments that will forever remain in Barça’s history and in my heart,” said the emotional attacking midfielder.
End of an Era for Barcelona
Alexia Putellas leaves Barcelona at the very top. Just last Saturday, she lifted a fourth Women’s Champions League trophy after Barça’s dominant 4-0 victory over Lyon in the final. It capped off a historic season in which the Catalan side also won Liga F, the Copa de la Reina, and the Spanish Super Cup.
FC Barcelona paid tribute to their captain in an emotional farewell. With 507 appearances, Putellas is the second-most capped player in the club’s history behind Melanie Serrano. She also leaves as Barça’s all-time top scorer with 232 goals and an incredible collection of 38 trophies.
Crowned Ballon d’Or winner in both 2021 and 2022, Alexia Putellas remains one of the symbols of Spanish football’s dominance in recent years. With Spain, she won the 2023 Women’s World Cup and the 2024 Nations League. According to several Spanish media outlets, her future could now lie with London City Lionesses, the club owned by Michele Kang, who also owns OL Lyonnes.
