The landmark of Putellas

The Women’s Ballon d’Or as such began to be awarded in 2018. Ada Hegerberg was the first to lift it, in an edition in which the Norwegian shared the limelight with Luka Modric and Kylian Mbappé. In 2019, it was the American Megan Rapinoe who took home the trophy. In 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the award was void.
In 2021, Alexia Putellas became the first Spanish footballer to win the Women’s Ballon d’Or. And with this new recognition in 2022, the player from Mollet del Vallès becomes the first player to repeat as a winner at the France Football gala.
