absolutely nothing could ever make me hate alexia. i will always just hope and wish for her happiness and peace in life no matter what that looks like. and always grateful for everything she’s given and will continue to give to women’s football 🤍

part of being a legend is knowing when to leave, it hurts right now and it would’ve always hurt whether now or later on in her career (whether that was retirement instead) but it will be okay 🤍

‘i have emptied myself’ and it breaks my heart hearing that, she really did always give her all and this season is just one season of that. mental fatigue is really awful and there is always nothing i want more than for players to do what is best for them, physically and mentally. they owe us nothing at the end of the day but we owe them, we owe alexia everything for what she’s given and done with her career 🤍

she came back from such a devastating injury to the form she’s currently in and that definitely would’ve taken such a toll on her as well. so while it hurts and it’s so sad and upsetting seeing her leave barcelona, i also deep down very much understand

i just want alexia to be happy 🤍

ALEXIA PUTELLAS: THE MOST DECORATED PLAYER IN FC BARCELONA'S HISTORY

we’ll never be truly able to understand just how much Barça means to Alexia. don’t ever fucking doubt the loyalty of someone who gets literal goosebumps when scoring for her club.

alexia's special words to the fans during her last match 💔

that's why i also wanted this moment here with all of you. i said goodbye this morning to my family, to the club staff and to the players, but now i want to address you. thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for believing from the beginning. those who didn't believe have also been part of this, they have pushed us to the level we are at right now. as you know, everything has a beginning and everything has an end, but the path has been beautiful. i will always carry you in my heart.

we have lived incredible nights that will be indelible in my mind. and now i am leaving my position as a barça player and becoming a barça fan again who will be pushing and enjoying and celebrating this magnificent team next year. and i'm sure you will be there again like every year and we will celebrate the victories of this magnificent team that is making history on and off the field.

It is exhausting watching people sit on their high horses, picking apart an ending they know nothing about. The anger over how fans are being treated feels so misdirected when we are completely in the dark. No one knows who decided to hold the news, or when the final line was actually crossed. But when you look at the other players whose futures are also hanging in silence, it is so obvious this timeline belongs to the club, not to her.

The immediate rush to call her a sellout or accuse her of greed is incredibly hollow. She is 32. She is entering the final phase of her career. It isn't a crime to want to breathe different air, or to look at a contract that secures her future and say yes. She has spent 14 years bleeding for the shirt. It’s not a cash grab it is the reality of a short career coming to its natural transition.

People are hurting because it feels sudden, but maybe this clean break is exactly how she needed to protect her own peace. No long, exhausting months of carrying the weight of a goodbye. Instead, she hands the fans four trophies, stands at the highest peak possible, and walks straight out the front door with her head held high. She poured every drop of herself into this club.. She gave us everything on the pitch she doesn't owe anyone a performance of her departure.

i could not have said it any better myself.
