Barcelona’s Alexia Putellas crowned The Best FIFA Women’s Player 2021

Barcelona Femeni captain Alexia Putellas has added yet another award to her extensive collection after being named The Best FIFA Women’s Player for 2021 at Monday’s awards.

It’s no surprise to see Alexia finish top of the pile once again as she’s already picked up the Ballon d’Or after captaining Barca to the treble last season.

The best player in 2021 is... @alexiaputellas
