Olympics Soccer Champions Duo Slam FIFA Over Unfair Best Women’s Award to Alexia Putellas – “Crazy How Much Social Media Dictates Most of These Awards”

There are no debates about how Alexia Putellas is one of the best players in the world. Winning her second straight FIFA Women’s Best Player award is another purple feather on her cap. However, two Canadian Olympic gold medal winners commented on how Arsenal and England forward Beth Mead dominated the 2021/22 season. They thought she had the best season and predicted Mead to win the award. 

Vanessa Gilles and Janine Beckie explained how Mead had a successful season while paying all due respect to Putellas’ contributions to women’s soccer. She scored 31 goals in all competitions last season and helped the soccer club from Barcelona to complete an iconic domestic treble-winning season. Therefore, the organizers gave her the trophy, much to the murmurs of Gilles and Beckie. 

Two players think Beth Mead deserved to win!

Gilles now plays for Lyon and suggested Mead’s terrific season in a tweet. She stated, “Incredible player without a doubt but @bmeado9 should have been the clear winner after her incredible Euros and WSL run last year… crazy how much social media dictates most of these awards.” According to the stats she conjured up, Beth became one of the best players on the planet. 

She scored 11 goals and eight assists in the WSL league in England with an average rating of 8.03. During the Euros, she performed remarkably well by scoring five goals and creating two assists. She became the tournament’s top scorer and best player while helping England to win their first European Championship.

On the other hand, Beckie showed her respect to both players. But like Gilles, she wanted Beth to win this year’s award. She tweeted, “No shade or denial of the pure talents that Putellas is, absolute world class player but Beth Mead was no doubt the best player in the world in 2022. Euros and WSL… for club and country, miles ahead. @bmeado9 keep grinding, we see you.”

Did Putellas have a good season?

Despite being out with an ACL injury ahead of the Euro Championships, Putellas is back in training for Barcelona. But during the 2021/22 season, she provided some glittering moments in the Spanish League. She scored 31 goals and created 21 assists by having a stunning season. It became one of the most iconic seasons in Primera Division Women’s history. 

Therefore, one can understand why Putellas probably retained the award. Apart from these two players, Alex Morgan went to the top as she finished second in the standings. It became a result to ponder upon as Mead had a successful season and played a tremendous role in bringing a notable trophy to England.
