Alexia Putellas has brought her historic spell at FC Barcelona to an end. The captain said goodbye today in an emotional official ceremony held at Camp Nou, surrounded by all the trophies she won while wearing the blaugrana shirt.
During her speech, the two-time Ballon d’Or winner admitted the sheer scale of everything she has experienced. “I would never have believed all this would happen,” the midfielder confessed, revealing that she did not even remember the exact number of titles she had won: “We were always going for the next one; it’s a shame I didn’t enjoy it along the way.”
The Catalan player acknowledged that the pressure and high standards stopped her from fully savoring the journey, but she leaves with the satisfaction of a job well done. She also explained that she had remained silent in recent months out of respect for the dressing room: “I promised myself that today I would open my heart and lay myself bare.”
Despite feeling she still has the level to compete, the Mollet del Vallès native believes the time has come to step aside. “I still felt I could contribute things, but when you weigh it all up, it made me feel this was the perfect moment,” she said sincerely.
Finally, the eternal blaugrana number 11 sent a message of complete reassurance to the fans about the future of the project. “For me, it is also important to know that the team will keep pushing on, will keep winning,” concluded the great legend of Barça women’s football.
