Alexia Putellas has become a feminist icon within a sport as socially masculinized as football. The F. C. Barcelona player has won different awards throughout her career (the Ballon d'Or for the best player in the world in 2021 and 2021, The Best FIFA Award of 2021, etc.), thanks to which she has emerged as one of the greatest soccer players in history.
With the victory of the Spanish Women's Soccer Team in the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, Putellas established herself as one of the great opinion leaders of our country, since she was not afraid to step forward and support his partner and friend Jenni Hermoso in the accusation against Luis Rubiales.
For years, Putellas has been one of our most important athletes, something that does not please a backward and retrograde sector of society that continues to think today that soccer "is not for girls."
Just as she arouses great social sympathy and has thousands of fans throughout the national territory for being a talented and empowered woman, the Catalan woman also has to face endless criticism on social networks on a daily basis, as well as small micro-violence and micromachismos.
The social tension over the athlete has reached such a point that someone has decided to stain one of the murals in her honor that decorate the streets of Barcelona. The person in question decided to write the word ''bitch'' on Putellas's face with the intention of publicly ridiculing and insulting her.
At the moment there has been no news about the person who painted the painting, but social networks have been filled with comments of support and affection towards Alexia Putellas, since, especially in Barcelona, she is a very loved woman and her mural He is very respected.
''Respect the champions!'' wrote tvartist on his official X account (formerly known as Twitter) while showing his more than 20,000 followers how he restored urban painting by mixing colors and reviewing the drawing. This is not the first time that the artist repairs a mural of the soccer player, since in the past he had to erase some lesbophobic messages from another painting located on Escorial Street, in the Grácia neighborhood.
