Alexia Putellas, who else, decided the match in ending Madrid’s resistance in the blink of an eye. First with a shot from outside the box that deflected a rival and a couple of minutes later, when the stands were still celebrating the goal, the best player in the world made it 2-0. He has 23 goals this season in all competitions for the Ballon d’Or.
