This Monday night, FC Barcelona won the award for best women’s team at the Ballon d’Or gala, held in Paris, after a season in which the Catalan club has won everything. The league, the Queen’s Cup and the Champions League have earned the culé team this recognition that the captain, Alexia Putellas, and the president, Joan Laporta, have collected.
«First of all, thanks to France Football for this award, it is a real honor. And thanks to all those who are part of the club, in particular the players “They work hard so that Barça has, with all humility, the best women’s football team in the world,” Laporta said.
For the leader, having this honor is something “very special” because it entails “many things.” «It means commitment to women’s football, commitment to rights and freedoms and, in particular, to gender equality. It is a great pride», he stressed.
For his part, Putellas has asked the rest of the teammates present (Aitana Bonmatí, Patri Guijarro, Mariona Caldentey -now at Arsenal-, Salma Paralluelo and Caroline Graham Hansen) to go on stage.
Claudio Giráldez’s team have achieved this recognition in a ceremony in which the player Lamine Yamal has won the Kopa Trophy for best young man of the year. «This is a great pride for me. “I dedicate it to my mother, my father, my grandmother, my family, all the staff of the national team and my club,” he said when collecting the award.
