After months of uncertainty about his level, continuity or physical performance, some questioned his loyalty to the club. But now, among all the storms and noise, Alexia Putellas is beginning to see the light. Each time with a better version of the game, to which is added the presentation yesterday of her own foundation – the Eleven Foundation, focused on improving opportunities for girls – and the renewal she is facing with Barcelona, as Sport published the day before yesterday. And as they explain to Morning Express, there is harmony and predisposition between both parties, in addition to good feelings, motivation and desire to contribute to the project on the part of the footballer. A conglomeration of events that make up the good moment of the 30-year-old two-time Ballon d’Or winner.
Just a week ago, Alexia lifted the League Cup at the Johan Cruyff, and gave the speech as captain in front of the fans. “You know that we have two finals left. We are waiting for you in Zaragoza and Bilbao, and we will give everything to make history again. Visit Barça, and visit Catalunya,” she said, apparently nervous and excited at the beginning of the speech in reference to the Champions League and Copa del Rey finals. A week earlier, against Granada, the club mathematically became champions of League F. “I’m happy, everything is going well,” she declared then.
Although the season has not been easy for her. After his relapse due to a blow to his operated left knee in a match against Benfica in November 2023, he had to stay away from the playing fields, exploring the problem of his physical ailments, and solving it with an arthroscopy performed in December. So, she was away for a few months to get ready again. She is motivated, she is not losing strength despite not having started in key Champions League matches, she is focused on the sporting aspect and with the renewal in standby, but without listening to the offers of other clubs. In total, he has ten goals this season – half after his relapse – and five assists. An Alexia with her vision between the lines back, and her goal-scoring nose intact. An Alexia who returned to vindicate herself.
The 11’s contract ends on June 30 and although Barça and the player have not yet sealed an agreement, it could arrive soon, bringing them closer to a “common point”, according to Sport. On the field, this Saturday against Real Sociedad (7:00 p.m., La 1) in the Copa del Rey and the next against Olympique Lyon in the Champions League, Alexia will seek two new titles.
