Alexia Putellas reveals how Luis Suarez inspired her to win 2nd Ballon d'Or

Barcelona Femini star Alexia Putellas has claimed that Luis Suarez played a role in inspiring her to win her second Ballon d’Or award on Monday.

She said: “Last year, Suárez told me that it was not going to be my last Ballon D'or. It was an important sentence, and I had to come back and outdo myself.”

Putellas is the only woman in history to win the Ballon d’Or twice in her career after enjoying a brilliant season with Barca’s Femini side.

She scored 29 goals in 38 appearances for the Spanish side, producing some amazing numbers.

The 28-year-old also won the Primera Division title as well as the Women’s Champions League with Barca.
