Record breaker

Putellas is not only one of the greatest players ever to play for Barça but is also simply one of the greatest female players of all time. Her 189 goals are more than any other player has contributed to the Barça cause, and she now has at least two more years to keep adding to her amazing tally.

The Copa de la Reina at the weekend means she has now won an astonishing 29 major trophies at the club, surpassing the 28 won by Melanie Serrano. And Alexia could take her count to 30 should she win the Champions League for the third time this coming Saturday.
