The controversial gesture of Alexia Putellas with a Vilda assistant when she was replaced

Alexia Putellas is going through a difficult World Cup. The Ballon d’Or winner has started only three of the six games played to date and where she is not enjoying the leading role that she could wish for at the start of the competition. The Barcelona player started again in these semifinals against Sweden, but she was substituted in the 56th minute. A change that did not sit well with the Spanish.

The double winner of the Ballon d’Or has not yet found herself, which has made Jorge Vilda trust other players more than her. For this reason, in the historic match against Sweden where Spain got through to the final, Putellas did not like the change at all and did not hide his anger and discomfort. Alexia started again, but could not contribute enough.

This discomfort was reflected in minute 56, when Jorge Vilda brought on the new star of the team, Salma Paralluelo, who scored the first goal of the semifinal. When she was substituted, she withdrew the greeting from Carlos Sánchez, the team’s goalkeeper coach.
