Alexia Putellas is the greatest player in the world after winning FIFA’s Best Women’s Player of 2021, the Ballon d’Or and a bountiful amount of trophies. After being inexplicably snubbed from FIFA’s FIFPRO World XI squad, she flexed on her doubters with a game-winning goal in the Supercopa de España Femenina semifinal vs. Real Madrid to win 1-0.
Alexia Putellas became the first woman to win the Ballon d’Or, UEFA Women’s Player of the Year and The Best FIFA Women’s Player in a single year, completing the historic treble on Monday at the FIFA Best awards. But there’s one honor she missed out on, and it’s hard for anyone to explain, though the Barcelona superstar tried her best to make sense of it all on Tuesday.
141 minutos necesitó Uchenna Kanu en convertir su primer gol con el jersey de Tigres Femenil.
La seleccionada nigeriana es la llamada a reemplazar a la histórica Katty Martínez -hoy en el América- y ante Chivas comenzó a escribir su historia. Además hizo bailar a todo El Volcán con un ritmo infernal.
La conquista de Uche con las Amazonas se produjo en el minuto 51. La delantera aprovechó un tiro de esquina y de cabeza batió a Celeste Espino.
Los aficionados mexicanos sueñan con ver a Marcelo Flores más seguido con el jersey del Tri. El jugador del Arsenal de 18 años ha mostrado un talento fuera de clase y que ilusiona a millones. Sin embargo, Marcelo no es el único miembro de su familia que promete alegrías para el fútbol azteca. También lo hacen sus hermanas Silvana y Tatiana.
Silvana, de 19 años, lleva un tiempo en el plantel del Tottenham; Tatiana, mientras tanto, comienza a brillar en la Sub-16 del Chelsea.
Cuatro minutos y 35 segundos demoró Katty Martínez en estrenarse como goleadora del América. Ausente en la jornada 1, la delantera hizo su debut en el Clásico Capitalino ante Pumas y rápidamente hizo gala de su legendario instinto asesino.
Martínez protagonizó uno de los traspasos más bombásticos de la pretemporada, dejando al multicampeón Tigres por el nuevo proyecto que se cocina en Coapa.
It’s o-Fishel — after a week of rumors, the anticipated Mia Fishel Tigres signing was announced Friday afternoon. The U.S. youth national teamer and former UCLA Bruin chose to join the Liga MX Femenil club instead of the Orlando Pride, who drafted her with the fifth overall pick in the 2022 NWSL Draft less than a month ago.
The official record for highest attendance at a professional women’s soccer game is held by the 1999 World Cup Final at the Rose Bowl between the USWNT and China with 90,185. Unofficially the 1971 World Cup Final between Denmark and Mexico had 110,000 in attendance.
A new candidate for the record is lurking in the shadows to take down the USWNT’s record. On March 30, Barcelona’s women’s team will host Real Madrid in the second leg of the UEFA Women's Champions League quarterfinals at Camp Nou.
Barcelona Femení's remarkable 2021-22 season continued Wednesday with a 5-0 victory over Sporting Huelva at Johan Cruyff Stadium. Dutch winger Lieke Martens has been the star of the show recently, and she went top of the Primera División scoring chart with a hat trick after 73 minutes before also assisting on an Alexia Putellas goal.
The first Martens goal was a right-footed volley in the 34th-minute that was hit with too much power for goalkeeper Chelsea Ashurst to deal with.
Trinity Rodman, the dynamic 19-year-old forward who was named 2021 NWSL Rookie of the Year, will finally get her first senior U.S. women’s national team experience this month. Two months after she rejected a previous invite, Rodman accepted Vlatko Andonovski’s call-up for the USWNT’s January camp.
Natalia Acuña doesn't enjoy a lot of game time in América Femenil, but a positive COVID-19 test for Renata Masciarelli gave her a rare chance to showcase her abilities as a goalkeeper. Sadly, Acuña's performance didn't go according to plan.
She wasn't terrible, but in the memory of those who watched the game, it will be impossible to forget the massive blunder that she made.
