Barcelona’s all-conquering women’s team was supposed to kick off one of the biggest weeks of the season with a crucial Primera División match against second-place Real Sociedad that could put Barça in great position to win the title, but the game was postponed because of a Covid-19 outbreak in the La Real camp.
With a surprise off-day at the weekend, Barça began preparations for the Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Real Madrid on Wednesday. Before that, though, a little break on Monday night for the FIFA The Best awards.
And as expected, reigning Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas was chosen as The Best women’s player for the 2020-21 season, with teammate Jenni Hermoso finishing third behind Chelsea’s Sam Kerr.
