Alexia Putellas won her third Ballon d'Or, cementing her status as the best player in women's soccer. The Barcelona and Spain midfielder beat out two former teammates, Ewa Pajor and Patri Guijarro, both also from the Catalan club. The awards haul underscores Barcelona's complete dominance of the women's game right now. Putellas has won this award three times in five years, a run that reflects both her individual brilliance and her club's sustained success at the highest level. The fact that two of the three finalists played for the same team tells you everything about where the power sits in European women's football. Barcelona isn't just winning trophies. They're producing the players everyone votes for when it comes time to hand out individual honors.
