Alexia Putellas Bids Farewell to FC Barcelona With a Tribute, Titles, and the Fourth Champions League

The blaugrana captain bids farewell after 14 seasons, 38 titles, and a legacy that marked the history of women's football.

A legend's farewell

This Wednesday will be an unforgettable day for Alexia Putellas, who bids farewell to FC Barcelona after 14 seasons that made her a symbol and reference of women's football worldwide. The captain will play her last home game at the Estadi Johan Cruyff against Real Sociedad, in a match that will serve as a tribute and farewell to the culé fans. The evening will also be marked by the celebration of the club's fourth Champions League, won last Saturday in Oslo with a resounding 4-0 against Olympique de Lyon.

The emotions will begin early, with a recognition event at the Spotify Camp Nou. There, Rafa Yuste and Joan Laporta will lead the ceremony along with their teammates, coaching staff, executives, and family members. On that stage, the 38 titles that Alexia lifted with the blaugrana jersey will be displayed, accompanied by statistics that reflect her impact: 507 official matches and 232 goals.

Ballon d'Or Candidate

At 32 years old, celebrated on February 4, Putellas bids farewell at the peak of her career. Her name is listed as the main candidate to win a third Ballon d'Or in September, which would place her alongside Aitana Bonmatí, her teammate and also a key figure of the team. However, the Catalan footballer is already thinking about new challenges, convinced that her story does not end here.

Alexia Putellas's legacy

Alexia's departure marks the end of a golden era for Barça women's team, but it also leaves a legacy that transcends titles. Her figure was key in the consolidation of the project that led the club to dominate Europe and in the expansion of women's football in Spain. She inspired generations of players and became an emblem of professionalism and leadership.

With the ovation of her people and the indelible memory of her feats, Alexia Putellas closes a glorious chapter in Barcelona, opening the door to new adventures that will continue to write her story in sports.
