<p>“I was playing football! I was playing football!”, the girl replied, late for her next class.</p>
<p>Merce Esteban, a PE teacher, cannot forget that image of a young Alexia Putellas, the girl who played football at breaktime with the boys, who has now gone on to captain Barcelona, and last year won the Ballon d’Or, Best FIFA women’s player award, UEFA Women’s player of the year, and the Champions League.</p>
