But it's not just about Putellas' football. Her leadership has also been an incredibly important factor in Barca's season to date, especially because of the injuries the Catalans have dealt with, the younger players that have been integrated into the senior side for the first time and those less experienced names that have needed to step up amid it all.
"She's a player who always tries to help other girls, to get the best out of them," Esmee Brugts, Barca's 23-year-old left-back, said of Putellas last month. "What people see in games is that she can really be a leader, but also in training, she is always demanding at least 100 per cent from everyone, and from herself in the first place. She's really an example.
"In my case, I speak a lot with her, knowing we also play on the same side, more or less, and she gives me those little tips that really help me for the games. When I talk about the experienced players taking those leading roles, she's, of course, the main example for this. It calms me down a lot to play next to her and she gives me the confidence to play a good game myself."
That leadership is intangible but so important, and should not be overlooked when discussing what an impactful year Putellas has had.
