Alexia Putellas has once again lifted a trophy with her beloved FC Barcelona. Following their recent 4-1 victory over Espanyol at the Ciutat Esportiva Dani Jarque, the Catalan side were crowned Women’s League champions for the eleventh time.

This triumph is not just another success for the Barça captain. It represents a true milestone in her illustrious career. Thanks to this latest triumph, the midfielder has become the player with the most titles in Barça’s history.

The Catalan player has reached the very pinnacle of the Blaugrana club with a total of 36 honours, surpassing the historic record of 35 trophies previously held by none other than Lionel Andrés Messi.

Alexia Putellas’ 36 titles at Barcelona

  • 10 Spanish League titles

  • 10 Copa de la Reina

  • 6 Spanish Super Cups

  • 3 Champions League titles

  • 7 Catalan Cups

Lionel Messi’s 35 titles with Barcelona

  • 10 Spanish Leagues

  • 8 Spanish Super Cups

  • 7 Copa del Rey titles

  • 4 Champions League titles

  • 3 UEFA Super Cups

  • 3 Club World Cups

As well as dominating the all-time honours list, the Catalan has drawn level with the Argentine star in the list of players with the most La Liga titles. They now each have 10 domestic titles.

This coincidence further reinforces the paths of two undisputed idols who share a very special distinction at the pinnacle of world football: both are multiple Ballon d’Or winners.

This record haul of titles comes at a time of pure emotion for Alexia, who just a few weeks ago reached her 500th match in the Barça shirt and in a few weeks’ time will have to decide what lies ahead for her professional future.

The legend continues: A thirst for more glory

Alexia’s glorious history at FC Barcelona seems to know no bounds. The Blaugrana’s immediate fixture list presents the ideal stage for Alexia to continue building her legend.

The team is currently in the midst of the Champions League semi-finals against Bayern Munich and has the Copa de la Reina final against Atlético Madrid on the horizon (scheduled for 16 May).

If Barcelona manage to assert their dominance and lift both trophies, Putellas would take her tally to 38 trophies in the Barça shirt and could further extend a legend that seems unassailable.

Alexia Putellas’s overall statistics at FC Barcelona

Alexia’s future: A life-changing decision

But every great love story could come to an end. At 32, Alexia’s contract with Barça expires in mid-2026 and she now finds herself at that very juncture where she will have to make a life-changing decision.

With the Barcelona crest on her chest, the Catalan has experienced absolutely everything: she had to endure the toughest years, playing on dirt pitches and in front of empty stands, and she was the key architect who led that very same team to reach for the stars in a packed Camp Nou.

She wept with frustration over serious injuries that sidelined her for months, but she also shed tears of pure joy as she lifted the Champions League trophy and two Ballon d’Or awards before the eyes of the world.

That is why the decision she faces is a personal one that goes beyond the pitch: it will be a balancing act between her love for her home and the natural desire to embark on one last great adventure in her professional career.

Whichever path she takes, the only certainty is that she owes absolutely nothing to anyone. Alexia Putellas has more than earned the right to choose how, when and where to write the final chapters of her sporting biography.

If she decides it is time to say goodbye, she will leave in peace and through the front door as the club’s greatest legend. And if she chooses to stay, Barcelona fans will be able to breathe a sigh of relief, knowing they can enjoy their queen for a little while longer.
