Alexia Putellas has set standards in women's football that may never be matched. She is the first and only player to win the Ballon d'Or Féminin, The Best FIFA Women's Player, and UEFA Women's Player of the Year in the same year, and she did it twice in a row. Her two Ballon d'Ors make her the most decorated woman in the award's history. She holds the record for most appearances for Spain's women's national team and is Barcelona's all-time leading scorer. Her leadership brought Barcelona their first Women's Champions League title as captain and helped Spain win their first World Cup. These achievements place her among the most decorated athletes in any sport.
