Alexia Putellas 👑 The 2026 Ballon d'Or winner 🏆 #BarclaysWSL #BWSL

What belongs in a Ballon d'Or winner's highlight reel besides goals? For Alexia Putellas, the Barclays Women's Super League starts with a cross: she controls the ball near the sideline and delivers it into the box for a teammate to score.

The league's tribute to the 2026 winner drew about 76,000 views in its first day, more than twenty times its usual start for a Short. This is a football montage set to music, not footage of the award presentation or an acceptance speech.

Putellas dribbles past defenders and finishes, but the edit keeps returning to how she creates chances. Quick midfield turns make room; a long through ball launches an attack; a lofted pass clears the defense. A shot curling into the top corner supplies the final flourish.

Among the congratulations, viewers repeatedly use her familiar nickname, La Reina, meaning "the queen." One self-described Chelsea supporter also makes a point of congratulating her.

Passing has another showcase on the league's channel: a separate Daniëlle van de Donk assist clip is also drawing an unusually large audience.
