VIDEO: Alexia Putellas wins second Ballon d'Or

This Tuesday, Paris hosted the prestigious Ballon d'Or ceremony, crowning the past season's most outstanding footballing talent. Watch Alexia Putellas claim her award above!

The Barcelona and Spain midfielder scooped first prize in the women's draw, meaning she has officially been the world's best female footballer for the last two consecutive years, after winning first prize for her efforts the year before. She helped Barcelona to league victory last season, but unfortunately for her has not been able to feature this campaign, due to suffering a serious knee injury. 

It is thought that Putellas will be completely out of action until 2023, and even then she will need time to regain her match fitness.
