Euro 2025 is just around the corner, and reigning world champs Spain are shaping up as hot contenders to snag the European title, too. Montse Tome's squad has been steamrolling opponents lately, with a 2-1 victory against England being the cherry on top - a feat that led Tome to omit record goalscorer Jenni Hermoso from her tournament roster.
But don't worry, ace midfielder Alexia Putellas, Two-Time Ballon d'Or winner, is more than up to the task. After missing Euro 2022 due to a ruptured ACL, she finally returned to action last spring, just before Spain's triumphant World Cup run. Now, with her sights firmly set on Euro 2025, she's raring to go.
"Euro tournaments are like the Champions League," Putellas says with a confident twinkle in her eye. "It takes more to win it. Everybody steps up their game, and the competition is fierce. We'll prepare hard and then take it round by round. First, it's all about slaying the group stage."
When asked about her motivation, Putellas confessed her recovery process for both the 2022 Euro and 2023 World Cup left her more driven than ever.
"Definitely! The World Cup was an emotional rollercoaster. I dealt with a serious knee injury and raced against time to make it to the finals. This time around, I'm feeling strong, sharp, and ready to give it my best," she revealed.
Putellas' commitment to her craft and desire to win have been constants throughout her career, resulting in numerous victories and titles. However, she maintains that the allure of success keeps her going like nothing else.
"I'm genuinely addicted to winning. I've loved my job ever since I started playing, and the thrill of lifting another trophy never fades. Despite aging and encountering setbacks, my hunger for victory burns like it always did," she admitted.
Putellas might have played a bit-part role at the World Cup, but her place in the squad for Euro 2025 is guaranteed. Keep an eye out for this dynamic midfielder, who's poised to make magic happen on the pitch for Spain this summer!
