After making history in the past gala of the Balloon of Gold in which it was awarded by second consecutive year like the best player of the world, Alexia Putellas has confessed that there was a moment of his career in which almost it finishes abandoning the rows of the FC Barcelona in front of the difficulties that crossed the feminine team some years backwards.

In statements for 'TV3', the midfield player indicated that it was in the course 2016/17 when it was about to to say goodbye: "we were not winning leagues and was a moment complicated, and spoke with the sportive director to say him that the best for the Barça was to leave me. It thought that they were not reaching the aims that deserves to reach the Barça and when you carry 4 years like this…".

For Alexia that was a critical period in the team, what carried it sopesar the possibility to step to the side and go in search of new challenges in his career like footballer. If the solution for the club went through his exit, was had to 'sacrifice' for that: "it did not want that they felt that it wanted to be here to any price, what wanted to was that it won the Barça".

Also it has explained how it was his arrival to the team blaugrana: "it Does more than 20 years there were not the categories that there was neither so many girls playing. I went in to the Barça for the first time with 12 years. I was a year and went me because it began the restructuring to start with the project of zero. When I went back to the Barça with 17-18 years, now in ten years has changed a lot of. Before it had to carry me the bottle of water to train".

Finally, it manifested not having very clear the criticisms to his speech in Catalan tongue during the premiación: "it did not have neither idea that had criticised me for speaking in Catalan in the gala of the Balloon of Gold, but ojalá spoke all the languages of the world. Whenever I can, and more directing me to the club, results me easier speak Catalan because between us speak in Catalan".
