Alexia Putellas has won the Women’s Ballon d’Or for 2026 following another incredible year that saw the Barcelona legend win the quadruple with the Catalans before moving on at the end of the season.
It’s the third time in her career that Alexia has been named as the best female player on the planet and once again comes as no surprise.
Barcelona Femeni unsurprisingly won big at Monday’s ceremony. Vicky Lopez picked up the Kopa Trophy for the second year running, while Pere Romeu was named Women’s Coach of the Year.
The team also picked up the Women’s Club of the Year award (for the third time in four years) and goalkeeper Cata Coll scooped the Best Goalkeeper Prize.
Joan Laporta was a very proud president as he reflected on Barca’s continued dominance of the women’s game.
“Thank you, France Football, for awarding us this prize for best women’s club of the year. It is a great honor to receive this award. I want to thank everyone who is part of Barça’s history. Everyone has worked very hard to achieve success,” he said.
“I’m thinking of the players and the coach, Pere Romeu. Also, our directors, Xavi Puig and Angel Ruidalbas. Thank you for your extraordinary work. I would like to thank the institutions that organize these competitions in which our players can showcase their talent: UEFA, the RFEF, and La Liga.
“I want to say a few words to the Barça fans, who are always by our side. This season we want to win La Liga three times in a row, we want to win the Champions League, and this season we will be contenders.”
Congratulations to Alexia and all at Barca Femeni.
