Alexia Putellas Hits 27 CL Goals, Becomes Barça's Top Scorer; Now Chasing Messi's Club Record

Alexia Putellas just rewrote the history books. Again. On Wednesday, October 15, 2025, during Barcelona’s dominant 4-0 victory against Roma, she didn’t just score a goal. She cemented her legacy, becoming a record-breaker on two massive fronts.

Key Takeaways

  • Alexia Putellas is now Barcelona Femení’s all-time top scorer in the Women’s Champions League.
  • She also became the top Spanish scorer in the competition’s history with 27 goals.
  • The record was broken with a penalty in Barcelona’s 4-0 win over Roma.
  • With 211 total goals, she’s now 3rd on Barça’s all-time scoring list, chasing Lionel Messi’s 672 goals.

The Goal That Made History

So here’s what happened. The pressure was on. Barcelona was already cruising against Roma, but all eyes were on Putellas. When the penalty was awarded, everyone knew this could be the moment. And she delivered. Cool as you like, she slotted it home, notching her 27th career goal in the Women’s Champions League.

That single goal did two things. First, it made her Barcelona Femení’s undisputed top scorer in the competition. Second, it pushed her past former teammate Jenni Hermoso and current star Aitana Bonmati, who were both tied at 26 goals, to become the highest-scoring Spanish player in the tournament’s history. Just another day at the office, right?

Now, She’s Chasing a Ghost

Look, breaking records in your own competition is one thing. But what Putellas is doing is bigger than that. Her goal against Roma was her 211th for Barcelona in 459 games. That number puts her third on the club’s all-time scoring list across both men’s and women’s teams. Ahead of her? Only two names: César Rodríguez with 232 goals, and the legend himself, Lionel Messi, with a staggering 672 goals.

Yeah, you read that right. She’s on a list with Messi. While his record seems untouchable, catching César Rodríguez is a very real possibility. It’s wild to think about, especially on a week that marked 21 years since Messi’s own LaLiga debut.

Loyalty and Blistering Form

Here’s the thing that makes this story even better. Just about a month ago, reports surfaced about a “mouth-watering offer” from Paris Saint-Germain Feminines. She could have left. But she stayed. She chose Barcelona, and now she’s breaking their records.

And her form? It’s simply incredible. In her last five matches, she’s bagged four goals and provided four assists. She’s not just scoring; she’s creating, leading, and dominating every time she steps on the pitch. While she’s still a long way from Ada Hegerberg’s all-time Women’s Champions League record of 67 or 68 goals, she’s proving she belongs in that elite company. What record do you think she’ll break next?
