Barcelona star Alexia Putellas joins London City Lionesses

Barcelona star Alexia Putellas joins London City Lionesses in the Women's Super League. With 232 goals in her career with Barcelona, she seeks a new challenge in the UK.

What happened?

Putellas has agreed to sign with London City Lionesses after leaving Barcelona after 14 years of titles. Although she had offers from the NWSL and other clubs, the English team was always her priority.

Why is it important for Barcelona?

Putellas chose London to stay in Europe and be close to Spain, and also to avoid facing her beloved Barcelona. The Catalan team continues to aspire to titles, but she now seeks to replicate that success in the UK.

What comes next?

The signing of Putellas is a major coup for London City Lionesses, who seek to make their franchise a power in the Women's Champions League. The team finished sixth in their debut in the top category and missed out on the three spots that give access to Europe.

Barcelona remains top of the league with 94 points, 8 points ahead of Real Madrid. The season has been exciting, with 95 goals scored and 36 conceded, and a goal difference of +59.
