After last year’s, Barcelona’s Alexia Putellas won the second Ballon d’Or of her career yesterday. A victory which suffers from some disputes according to OL. Present in the pressure conference, Sonio Bompastor did not hide his astonishment at not seeing one of his players claim a better ranking. “I am entitled, me coach, to estimate that several players in my squad could claim to be top 5”explains the Lyonnaise.
Same story with Wendie Renard, who finished 8th in this trophy, one place behind Ada Hegerberg, one ahead of Catarina Macario, while Christiane Endler and Selma Bacha finished 12th and 14th. “There is bound to be misunderstanding, even for the player of the year trophy. There wasn’t a Lyonnaise in it, knowing that we won the Champions League, that we had a very good season. Today, I personally suffer, like the rest of my teammates, this kind of thing, but it will not change my mentality to continue working. »
