Alexia Putellas Claims Third Women’s Ballon d’Or in 2026
Alexia Putellas won the 2026 Women’s Ballon d’Or, achieving this honor for the third time at the ceremony held in London on Monday. The London City Lionesses star previously secured the award in 2021 and 2022, thus ending Aitana Bonmatí’s three-year reign as the award winner.
Bonmatí had won the Women’s Ballon d’Or in 2023, 2024, and 2025 but was not nominated for the 2026 prize. During the 2025/26 season, Putellas captained Barcelona before transferring to London City Lionesses in the summer.
She played a pivotal role in helping Barcelona secure four trophies, including the Women’s Champions League, Liga F, the Spanish Super Cup, and the Copa de la Reina. Additionally, Putellas contributed to Spain's victory in the Women’s Nations League, further solidifying her credentials for the prestigious award.
