She is the best player in the world. That’s what the awards say (Golden Ball, The Best…). And this is demonstrated match after match on the green Alexia Putellas. Her great goals, her ingenious passes, her impossible plays and her spectacular vision of the game make the Catalan monopolize the spotlight of the fans and, above all, of her rivals. Even more so if it is a great event, where the Alexia factor is always decisive for this Barcelona, which has seen how its great star looked even stronger in the last Champions League final, where the title was lifted, the finals Queen’s Cup…
To this, We must add that the captain and Barça emblem arrives at the quarter-final match against Real Madrid in top form, after having scored four goals in the last two games: against Real Sociedad (0-3), to give his team a spot in the Cup semi-finals; and against Real Madrid (5-0), in a victory that certified the league title for the Catalans.
In this last duel against white he also gave an assist and, above all, gave another recital of play. The same one that has led him to be the great threat for Real Madrid in this new duel already known as ‘Clásico’. The Catalan is one of those players who can decide a game at any time. Her team, her rivals and herself know it, as she demonstrated it again in the semi-finals of the last Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid, whom she knocked down with a goal in stoppage time. A little more than she added to her personal locker against Real Madrid.
Alexia has 25 goals and 13 assists this season
Total, Alexia has scored in five of the seven matches against the Madrid team, including the two games against Tacon in 2019-20. In fact, the Catalan opened the painful 9-1 win in the debut of what would later become Real Madrid at the Johan Cruyff. He did not score in the second game against the high-heel team, but he did score fully last season, with a goal in each of the games played against the team that already looked like Real Madrid in the Primera Iberdrola.
With a break in the first round of this League, where he was left without scoring in the 1-3 victory at the Di Stéfano, Alexia resumed her scoring path against Madrid in her last two duels against Toril’s team. And he wants more. For now, he has 25 goals and 13 assists in all competitions so far this season. He doesn’t put a ceiling. It will be necessary to see if he also attends his appointment with the goal today.
