Spain's all-time most capped female footballer, Putellas, chipped in with 18 league goals, while she also registered 15 assists.

Though Barca failed to defend their European crown as they were defeated by Lyon in the Champions League final.

She also scored four goals in seven appearances for Spain, but she suffered heartbreak on the eve of Euro 2022 as she picked up an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

But EA Sports saw enough last campaign in the reigning Ballon d'Or champion to award her a 92 rating in the popular video game franchise.
