  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Catalan native Putellas has been with Barca since 2012, with the history books being rewritten over the course of 12 memorable years. The 30-year-old midfielder is a two-time winner of the Ballon d’Or Feminin and captured a World Cup crown with Spain in 2023.

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  At club level, with unfortunate injury sagas being left in the past, Putellas has been a regular source of end product from her playmaking post. She opened her goal account on debut and became a centurion in that department when netting against Madrid CFF in April 2019.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Putellas passed international team-mate Jenni Hermoso to become the all-time leading scorer for Barcelona’s women’s team when finding the target against Atletico Madrid last season – as she reached 182 goals and counting.
