Alexia Putellas, the playmaker of Barcelona’s women’s team, had a dream come true after the team defeated Lyon 2-0 in the Champions League final. The victory took place at San Mames and saw Putellas score one of the goals, with Aitana Bonmati scoring the other.
Putellas expressed her joy and satisfaction after achieving this feat, stating that it was beyond her wildest dreams. She had previously won the Spanish Super Cup in January and the Copa de la Reina, but this was her first time winning the Liga F and Champions League titles. Barcelona had set out to win all four trophies this season, and they accomplished that goal by claiming their third Champions League title.
Despite never previously defeating Lyon in four encounters and suffering losses to them in both the 2019 and 2022 finals, Barcelona showed respect for their French rivals. Putellas emphasized that their focus was on achieving their goal of winning all four trophies this season.
Putellas has recently returned from a knee injury and signed a contract extension with Barcelona until 2026. She expressed her commitment to the club and stated her excitement to continue competing and giving her all for Barcelona. The victory in the Champions League final was a culmination of all the sacrifices made by the team, and entering the stadium alone made it all worthwhile for Putellas.
