La Liga F Begins Without Putellas After 17 Years

La Liga F kicks off this Saturday without Alexia Putellas for the first time in 17 years after the Ballon d'Or winner joined London City Lionesses.

La Liga F begins its new season this Saturday without its most prominent figure, Alexia Putellas, who left Barcelona in May after winning all four titles and moved to London City Lionesses. The Spanish women's league faces a significant talent drain as other top players like Mapi León, Ona Batlle, and Salma Paralluelo have also departed for the Women's Super League.

Despite these losses, Barcelona with Aitana Bonmatí and Patri Guijarro remains the overwhelming favorite to extend their seven-year championship reign. The league has recently been overshadowed by management issues rather than sporting matters as it navigates the absence of its biggest star. sports24.club
