According to reports, “When I go to schools and ask girls what they want to be in the future, they say they want to be footballers like Alexia Putellas.”

These are the words of Mireia Dionisio, the mayor of Mollet del Vallès, who often praises Alexia Putellas, the captain of Barcelona, whenever she is present in the city or initiates a project. This time, the honor was doubled, as the footballer, who recently became a Pepsi ambassador, unveiled a mural painted by Dase, a street artist from Mollet, in honor of her on Carrer Onida de Burgos.

Alexia said on stage: “It is a great honor for me to be a Pepsi ambassador and part of a campaign that I will soon join with my teammates and colleagues. I hope that every time my fellow citizens pass by here, they feel proud of the path I have taken and that I can elevate the name of Mollet even further.”

She added that she has known Dase since her teenage years and expressed happiness that this project was entrusted to him.
Dase said: “In 2019, I wrote that I wanted to paint a mural of Alexia, and now this dream has come true. I admire her because I don’t even know how to kick a ball! In school, I always stayed in class and drew because that was my thing. She is a role model for everyone, both girls and boys.”

Alexia is also following the situation of Barcelona’s men’s team, who will play the second leg of the Champions League semifinal in Milan on Tuesday: “For all Barcelona fans, reaching the final is a great honor. We are lucky to have so many teams in Barça, and the more teams we have in European finals, the better we can grow the club. I wish them success and hope our fans can attend two European finals.”
