Putellas attended a Lionesses game in London in January.<\/p>\n<p>Putellas played 507 games for Barcelona \u2014 second on the all-time list \u2014 since arriving at age 18 in 2012 from Levante, the Catalan club said.<\/p>\n<p>Putellas scored 232 goals for Barcelona, a club record, and won 38 trophies, including four Champions Leagues and 10 Spanish league titles.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=9348\">Supreme Court rejects Meta\u2019s appeal in Vermont social media addiction case<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe time has come to acknowledge that I\u2019ve given everything for these colors,\u201d Putellas said in a video posted on her social media accounts. \u201cIt\u2019s been a perfect story.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>She was Barcelona\u2019s best player when it won its first Champions League in 2021 and helped put women\u2019s soccer in Spain on the global map when she won back-to-back Ballon d\u2019Or awards in 2021 and 2022. Her boost to the sport was considered key to helping Spain win the 2023 World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>When Spain was embroiled in crisis after its then soccer federation president Luis Rubiales kissed a player without consent during the World Cup awards ceremony, it was Putellas who led the player revolt that prompted his downfall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve taken the women\u2019s team further than we ever imagined,\u201d Putellas said. \u201cAt the beginning, being a soccer player wasn\u2019t even recognized as a profession. Now I feel privileged to have been part of this change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Serious leg injuries put her star status in doubt for Barcelona and Spain.
