Putellas was one of five players nominated from the Barcelona team following their first Champions League triumph along with winning the Primera Division title and the Copa de la Reina.
The 27-year-old was named UEFA’s Women’s Player of the Year and midfielder of the year and was also the highest-scoring midfielder in Europe with 26 goals in all competitions last season.
Barca Femeni’s dominance meant that five players were shortlisted for the award with Lieke Martens, Jennifer Hermoso, Sandra Paños and Irene Paredes joining Alexia.
