I did a thing. love yโall
and here it is: maria tikas on one last tribute to alexia ๐ "you've changed our lives, alexia"
as you say in the video, alexia, i donโt know where to start. yesterday you laid your heart bare, and today iโll do the same. and I think or rather, I know that everything iโm about to say to you now, even though it comes from my heart and speaks for me, wonโt be just my own feelings.
as a barรงa fan, it will be incredibly hard for me not to see you play in this shirt anymore. i canโt imagine barรงa without you. but i also fully understand your decision. because only you could leave in this way: so complete, so consistent, so worthy of everything youโve been. a perfect story. this year iโve seen you very happy, happier than in any of the past few years, and that has made us all happy. i know youโre leaving, as you said, full of love. and you deserve it.
one day i showed you a tattoo i have on my arm. โNo hi ha distร nciaโ. itโs one of the most important things youโve ever said and, as is often the case with many of the things you do, at the time you probably werenโt even aware of what it would come to mean. what you meant, after losing to wolfsburg and missing out on the champions league final for the only time in the last eight years, was that there was no longer any gap between you and europeโs top teams. that you were ready to win it. and you did. once, twice, three, four times. but that phrase means so much more.
it was the year i started at SPORT and the year i, a nobody, set out to do whatever i could and give it my all so that womenโs football in general, and barรงa in particular, would get the visibility they deserved. so that one day they could become what they are today.
when i was little, i used to play football at school, and it never crossed my mind that i might one day become a footballer, thank goodness i didnโt have the role models that girls have today because, quite frankly, i wasnโt cut out for the game. but then again, i never imagined i might become a sports journalist and be telling all this. when i started out, it never crossed my mind, not even in the furthest corner of my mind, that one day iโd be reporting on champions league finals, records at camp nou, historic trips to bilbao, oslo or eindhoven. even to turin or lisbon. nor that i'd be able to write such a special book about your story.
and this is where that phrase changes everything too. because โno hi ha distร nciaโ wasnโt just about you. it was about us too. about all of us who have grown up alongside you. because you have paved the way for us as well. you have made media editors understand that this matters too. that it deserves space. that it deserves front pages. that it deserves to be told. and you have made us part of it too. so that here, too, there is no distance.
because you havenโt just paved the way for the girls of today. you have also made many women who had never felt part of this world understand, at last, that it was theirs too.
i truly believe, and i hope no one takes offence because iโm speaking for myself, that there has never been a better leader or captain in the history of this club. no one who embodies so perfectly, in every possible way, on the pitch, as a person, and in the community, what barรงa stands for. the titles, both team and individual, that youโve won are almost the least important part of everything youโve achieved. youโve given your all for this badge. for these colours. for these teammates, those who remain and those who have moved on. for this sport. icons like iniesta, busquets and puyol paid tribute to you at your farewell. how incredible that is.
you have led an incredibly gruelling battle to bring womenโs football to where it is today. and not just anyone could have done that. you have shouldered a great deal on your own so that it wouldnโt affect the rest of us. you have worn yourself out in daily struggles so that those coming after you would find the path a little easier. and you have succeeded. you spoke up when you had to, even though youโre not one for cameras or microphones. you kept quiet when you had to. always out of respect. thereโs no need to list here all the barriers youโve broken down. you will always be the first in everything.
you made me cry that day at the mini when you secured your place in the champions league final. you made me cry when you said there was no distance between us. you made me cry with that line, โif we win, weโll be eternal, but because of how we play,โ in gothenburg. you made me cry with your first ballon dโor in paris. a triumph for us all. you made me cry with that first bow at camp nou. so elegant. i donโt think there will ever be a more fitting celebration. the queen bowing to her people. โuna di voiโ.
you made me cry when you broke down, because that day we all broke down. you made me cry with that โwhen i recover, iโm going to face beasts, so i have to be a beastโ to adriรกn. you made me cry with the second ballon dโor, because i could see you walking properly again, because those had been difficult months and that recognition was the boost you needed then, and also because it was my first time there.
you made me cry when you made your comeback. you made me cry when you lifted the champions league trophy in eindhoven, this time in front of your own fans, and gave patri that kiss on the forehead. you made me cry with that goal in bilbao, which will always be one of the most special iโve ever witnessed. you made me cry when the camp Nou wouldnโt stop applauding you for your 500th match and chanting your name, and you were moved. you made me cry in oslo.
and yesterday i cried more than ever, at the camp nou and at the johan. because if barรงa is where it is today, and let me say this too, and if i am where i am, it is largely thanks to you. youโve changed our lives. mine and that of so many more people than youโll probably ever imagine. each in their own way.
thank you so much, alexia
Alexia Putellas Segura, our La Reina.
14 years. 507 games. 232 goals. 10 league titles. 10 Copas de la Reina. 8 Copas Catalunya. 6 Super Copas. 4 Champions Leagues. 2 Ballon dโOr.
She wrote a legacy at FC Barcelona that is untouchable. It feels wrong to call her career a chapter because it was a whole book.
Now she gets to decide her future and sheโs earned that right.
Thank you for everything, La Capitana๐โค๏ธ
โEven if more adults were willing to ask friends to skip rocks or loll on the couch, our grown-up minds can sap the improvisational fun from these gatherings. To enjoy the rewards of play, you have to take risks, but adults are often too consumed by self-consciousness to run with someoneโs silly idea, let alone suggest one. Our desire for playful connection doesnโt disappear after childhood. For some people, it gets redirected to romance. Couples mimic intense childhood friendships by spending free-flowing time together, marking the relationship with symbolic tokens such as rings, and developing a miniature culture, complete with inside jokes and a shared vernacular. But celebrating adult friendships in this way is rarerโand harder.โ

dear champions,
i wasn't always a girl like you, dreaming of a world that sometimes felt too big for me. but my heart was full of dreams and a love for this sport that pushed me to overcome it each day. football was not just a game. it was a driving force for change and a tool for growth to believe in myself, and to open paths when it seemed like there were none. i want to encourage you to recognize that same spark in your eyes now, as the new generation, ready to shine. every training, every match, every moment in which you stay true to yourselves, are the steps that will help you move forward. football has the power to transform lives, unite people, and give a voice to those who often do not have one. remember the power of inspiring one another. together, your voice and courage can change the world. keep daring, dreaming, and loving this sport. and never forget that it will always be by your side.

people on this website be like "this man is detestable and i respect nothing about him, but i'll still respect his preferred pronouns uwu"
-_-
It is almost always right to call people what they wish to be called.
Using someone's correct pronouns isn't a sign of respect for that person. It's a sign of respect for the principle that people get to define their own identity.
The priciple matters and can be applied universally. Going after someone's identity because you don't like their views is a dick move.
I don't misgender Caitlyn Jenner just because I find her Trump support reprehensible.
I don't use ethnic slurs against Clarence Thomas despite thinking his jurisprudence has done enormous harm to all of us.
I don't mock Lindsey Graham with homophobic insinuations even though I find his domestic policy positions deplorable and his reversals on Trump indicative of a broken moral compass.
I don't attack Ilhan Omar for her ethnicity, national origin, or religion just because she's routinely dishonest and can't get a grip on her antisemitism.
If you abandon principles the moment they must be applied to people you don't like, they weren't ever actually principles.
They were just social performances you dropped when you got mad enough.
If you don't grasp this, you're not being guided by consistent moral principles, but by emotional resonance and selective outrage.
If I think someone is detestable, the English language provides countless ways to express that, including criticizing their actions, their beliefs, or their impact on the world.
I think identity politics are wildly out of control, but attacking immutable characteristics or identity is more than counter-productive. While it doesn't hurt the intended target much at all, it does hurt everyone who shares those characteristics and sees that decency towards their identity is considered conditional and can be revoked as punishment.
I see people doing that to Jews on the daily. It's bullshit when it is done to us, it's bullshit when it is done to any other group.
You don't get to decide someone's gender identity is bullshit because you don't like them or their views.
If your allyship evaporates the second you encounter a trans person you dislike, you were never an ally to begin with.
I think that supporting trans rights is Jewish, even if many trans folks are antisemitic.
We need to continue to have smarter, more nuanced conversations about such topics instead of spouting reactionary, tribal, morally inconsistant outrage.
_____
Anon, please consider that I just throroughly disagreed with you without attacking your ethnicity, religion, national origin, orientation, or gender identity. Instead, I criticized your words and the ideas/behaviors they support.
It isn't actually difficult to do.
You obviously have a sense of justice. You obviously dislike hypocrisy. Extend those universally. You can do this.
If you want to discuss privately, message me.
yes, that's true. i would recommend you watch the following 2020 video from rfef in which alexia talks about the reason why she decided to wear 14 to honour one of her best friends.
she wore it through the 2022 eurocopa campaign and then switched back to #11 for the 2023 world cup after virginia made her re debut back on the pitch.

reblog to give somebody a fucking hug because we are all struggling to get through it. solidarity in this tough ass world.
When you're so good you need 4 players to stop you
itโs what they deserve ๐ฅน
idk how to explain it because like alexia has always been beautiful, but last couple of months like dialled it up to full whack? the quiet confidence, the aura, is giving I know I'm that bitch, and I'm good with that. idk if that makes sense.
I think baby girl is realising she's THE alexia putellas!
