Alexia Putellas has ended the 2025/26 UEFA Women’s Champions League with both the trophy and a major individual honour. UEFA’s Technical Observer Group selected the Barcelona captain as Player of the Season after a campaign in which she registered the competition’s highest total of goal contributions.
The official numbers are simple and strong: seven goals, seven assists and 11 appearances. Barcelona then completed their run with a 4-0 win over OL Lyonnes in the final in Oslo, where Putellas lifted the trophy as captain.
UEFA selects Putellas as Player of the Season
The Player of the Season award comes from UEFA’s Technical Observer Group. It is UEFA’s assessment of Putellas across the full Women’s Champions League campaign, rather than recognition based on one match alone.
UEFA puts her 14 goal contributions at the centre of its announcement. That total is made up of seven goals and seven assists, and UEFA describes it as the highest figure in the competition.
That balance matters. Putellas’ output did not come only from finishing chances herself, nor only from setting up team-mates. UEFA’s record credits her with seven in each category across Barcelona’s European run.
Putellas made 11 appearances in the competition. Across those matches, her combined total of 14 goals and assists works out at more than one goal contribution per appearance.
Seven goals and seven assists in 11 appearances
The split between goals and assists is one of the clearest details in UEFA’s statistics. Putellas scored seven times and created seven more goals, giving her an equal return in both parts of the game.
In total, UEFA recorded 14 goal contributions for the Barcelona captain. No player had a higher total in the competition, according to UEFA’s figures.
That is the factual base behind the individual award. UEFA’s Technical Observer Group made the selection, while the official statistics show the volume of Putellas’ direct involvement in goals over the campaign.
The numbers also cover the whole competition. UEFA does not frame the honour as a reward for a single standout moment. Instead, the record covers Putellas’ 11 appearances and the seven goals and seven assists she produced during them.
A Player of the Match display against Real Madrid
UEFA also highlights one specific match from Putellas’ campaign: Barcelona’s 6-2 win over Real Madrid in the first leg of their quarter-final. Putellas was named Player of the Match for that fixture.
The result gives that recognition a clear setting. Barcelona scored six goals in the first leg, while Putellas received the individual match award from UEFA.
The supplied UEFA record does not give further details about her performance in that game. What is confirmed is the Player of the Match recognition, attached to Barcelona’s 6-2 quarter-final first-leg victory.
It is important to separate that award from the season honour. Player of the Match applied to the Real Madrid game, while the Player of the Season award reflected UEFA’s view of Putellas’ entire Women’s Champions League campaign.
Together, the two distinctions show both a highlighted individual match and the wider body of work that led to the season award.
The other UEFA figures from her campaign
Goals and assists are the main headline, but UEFA also lists further figures from Putellas’ 11 appearances. Her passing accuracy in the competition was 86.73%.
UEFA also records her top speed as 25.77 km/h. These are official competition statistics, sitting alongside the more visible return of seven goals and seven assists.
Putellas’ UEFA record for the campaign can therefore be set out clearly: 11 appearances, 14 goal contributions, 86.73% passing accuracy and a top speed of 25.77 km/h. The 14 contributions break down evenly into seven goals and seven assists.
The biggest figure remains that total of 14. UEFA says it led the competition, and its announcement places it at the heart of the Technical Observer Group’s Player of the Season decision.
Barcelona finish with a 4-0 final win in Oslo
The team outcome arrived in Oslo. Barcelona beat OL Lyonnes 4-0 in the UEFA Women’s Champions League final, according to UEFA.
After that victory, Putellas lifted the trophy as Barcelona captain. It linked her individual recognition to Barcelona’s final result in the competition.
The scoreline is worth stating precisely: UEFA records a four-goal Barcelona win over OL Lyonnes. The campaign ended with Barcelona taking the trophy, and Putellas receiving the Player of the Season award.
UEFA’s account does not need anything extra to explain why the award was given. The Technical Observer Group selected Putellas, UEFA lists her competition-leading 14 goal contributions, and Barcelona finished by winning the final 4-0.
Her second UEFA Player of the Season honour
According to UEFA, this is Putellas’ second UEFA Women’s Champions League Player of the Season award. Her first came in the 2021/22 campaign.
The new honour adds another Player of the Season award to her UEFA record, four seasons after the earlier one. This time, the official figures are particularly clear: seven goals, seven assists and 11 appearances.
Barcelona’s 4-0 victory over OL Lyonnes then provided the final team result, with Putellas lifting the trophy in Oslo as captain. UEFA’s official verdict is that its Technical Observer Group chose her as the 2025/26 Player of the Season.
For now, that is the confirmed picture. UEFA has published the award, the competition-leading contribution total and the final result. The next verifiable point is simply UEFA’s existing record of a completed campaign: Putellas as Player of the Season and Barcelona as champions.
