Having missed the Euros in 2022 after she suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury on the eve of the tournament, Alexia Putellas has been making up for lost time on the European stage. She added another two assists in the 3-1 win against Italy to equal the record for group-stage goal involvements by a single player - set three years ago by England's Beth Mead. Not only does Putellas rank first for direct goal involvements, but she's created more chances per 90 minutes (five) than any other player at Euro 2025. "She is so good in possession, she's got so much awareness, she sort of looks like she's playing in slow motion but she's actually just so in control. "I think the only way to stop her is to limit the ball getting to her because once she has it, she's just so dangerous."
