Her latest victory marks her return to the top of women’s football after several years outside the award’s top three.

The 32-year-old left Barcelona in July 2026 after 14 years with the Spanish club. She joined London City Lionesses before the 2026–27 season.

Putellas’ latest achievement further strengthens her place among the leading players in women’s football.
