Total Domination With Barcelona and Spain

Alexia Putellas delivered an exceptional 2024–2025 campaign, placing her firmly among the top contenders for the Ballon d'Or. With 22 goals and 17 assists in club competitions for Barcelona Femenino, the Spanish midfielder was pivotal in their triumphs in Liga F, the Champions League, the Copa de la Reina, and the Spanish Super Cup.

On the international stage, she also dazzled with Spain, scoring 6 goals and adding 4 assists, including a historic performance against Belgium in EURO 2025, where she became the only player in the tournament’s history to score twice and assist twice in a single match.

Stats That Back Her Bid for the Ballon d'Or

Beyond goals and assists, Alexia's overall impact is undeniable. In a key match against Portugal, she posted 88% passing accuracy, won 8 out of 10 ground duels, and completed all of her dribbles. Against Italy, she tallied 2 assists and recorded a stellar 93% passing rate.

Adding up her club and international performances, she has contributed to 28 goals and 21 assists this season. She also became Barcelona Femenino's all-time top scorer with 212 goals, trailing only Lionel Messi and César Rodríguez in the club's overall history.

A Complete and Versatile Season

She’s also the first player across Europe’s top five leagues to reach double digits in both goals and assists this season—an even more impressive feat given her position as a midfielder. In terms of chance creation, she led both the Liga F and Champions League with 22 key chances, surpassing stars like Fridolina Rolfö and Caroline Graham Hansen.

Defensively, she contributed with 14 clearances, ranking second in her team behind only Patri Guijarro, further highlighting her influence on both ends of the pitch.

With this remarkable season and unmatched consistency, Alexia Putellas is more than ready to pursue her third Ballon d'Or, a milestone that would cement her legacy as one of the greatest footballers in history.
