He scored a goal in the third game, in the fourth and in the fifth. He added his 400th game with Barça, equaled Jenni Hermoso’s scoring record and surpassed it. So, successively, it goes Alexia Putellas delving into history Barcelona, turning his name into an eternal reference due to the magnitude of the figures.
Against Atlético, Barça’s great rival until Madrid’s emergence, the captain scored the goal that made her the top scorer. The only goal of the duel, which acquired the value of three points, although its dimension transcended the sporting importance of the moment despite the fact that it reported the victory and the preservation of the leadership. Alexia’s merit is the perseverance that has led her to be the only Spanish Ballon d’Or winner, and twice. Aitana Bonmatí will succeed her on the podium almost certainly on October 30.
“It is a privilege and a pride to be able to surpass Jenni,” Alexia said at the end of the match, when she was reminded that this record shared since she scored last week against Real Sociedad, became solely hers. Momentarily it is 182 goals. appears on the horizon the round figure of 200 for the captain, 29 years old, who will have greater opportunities in his new role. Playing inside left he was able to score 34 goals and 21 assists in the season he obtained the first Ballon d’Or.
The new front
Alexia scored his first goal for Barça at the age of 18: on September 30, 2012, in a rout against Sant Gabriel (7-1). A very different League from the current one, although the Barça team from time to time treat themselves to festivals like that one. It was the first goal of 131 in the League. The new forward has 20 goals in the Copa de la Reina, 19 in the Champions League, 4 in the Spanish Super Cup and 8 in the Copa Catalunya, according to club statistics.
Alexia now plays as a false nine due to various circumstances. The first was the reflection that Jonatan Giráldez made when seeing the performance of the midfield during the absence of the captain due to the torn cruciate ligaments. The Aitana-Walsh-Patri formula was so successful that Barça won the League and the Champions League. The coach had no reason to alter that trio but he also could not waste the talent and scoring ability of the Vallesana, comparable, if not better, to that of Oshoala and Geyse before they left.

Alexia joined the team after the injury “without the necessary competitive level for such an important stretch of the season” and Giráldez placed her in the attack to exploit her virtues: ability to hold the ball, intelligence to move, knowledge of her teammates and the proximity to the area to take advantage of his shot. “I think he can do it, it is agreed upon and Alexia is very receptive,” the coach explained in an interview with the newspaper Sport.
“I’m learning in the face of an obvious change. I already mastered the inside position and now I’m learning another position that will make me a better player,” Alexia reflected, more focused on winning “all the titles of the season.” But with her on the grass, forgotten the nightmare of the injury suffered at the best moment of his career, wearing the captain’s armband again, no matter the location on the field.
