Alexia Putellas has won the 2021/22 UEFA women's player of the year award.

Barcelona and Spain attacker Alexia Putellas is the first played to be named UEFA women's player of the year twice in a row.

Putellas, who won award last year along with the Ballon d’Or, netted 34 goals for Barcelona last season as the club won all the domestic trophies and reached the Champions League final.

However, the 28-year-old did not play in the Euros after tearing her knee ligaments in training.

The Barcelona and Spain forward finished ahead of Beth Mead and Alex Popp in the voting. The result was announced during the 2022/23 men's UEFA Champions League draw ceremony in Istanbul.
