Barcelona and Spain midfielder Alexia Putellas has won the 2021 women’s Ballon d’Or.
Putellas was one of five players nominated from the Barcelona team following their first Champions League triumph along with winning the Primera Division title.
She was the highest-scoring midfielder in Europe with 26 goals in all competitions last season.
The 27-year-old was also named UEFA’s Women’s Player of the Year and midfielder of the year.
Barcelona team-mate Jennifer Hermoso was second, with Chelsea forward Sam Kerr third and Arsenal striker Vivianne Miedema fourth.
Speaking through a translator at the Paris ceremony, Putellas said:
“I’m very emotional, it’s a very special moment.
“I would like to start by thanking all my team-mates, especially my current [Barcelona] team-mates. For me it’s a collective success.”
