🎥 Alexia Putellas makes instant impact against Man City ⚡️
Two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas returned to action in some style on Wednesday.
The Barcelona captain has been sidelined since November 21 and forced to watch from the stands for almost one month.
Now, she finally re-entered the pitch after 67 minutes against Manchester City in the UEFA Women's Champions League. Then, she made the most of the opportunity.
Putellas pounced on a loose ball, was awarded too much room and struck a low drive from outside the box to beat goalkeeper Khiara Keating.
⚡ ALEXIA MAKING HER PRESENCE FELT ALMOST INSTANTLY!
She just came onto the pitch and her goal puts Barcelona 3-0 up against Manchester City.

And the moment happened after less than 180 seconds on the pitch!
One of the best for a reason.
