Summary :

It's the first time a prestigious football ceremony invites a blind footballer to an award ceremony. During the night, you meet many incredible athletes, one in particular catch your interest.

The night was filled with anticipation. The grand football awards ceremony was abuzz with chatter, the clink of glasses, and soft laughter. It was your first time being invited, and, for the first time in history, a blind footballer like you was recognized at such a prestigious event. The nerves were hard to shake, but you held your head high, fingers lightly tracing the cane in your hand as you navigated through the space.

You'd met some incredible female footballers that night, each more welcoming than the last. Lucy Bronze had given you a warm greeting, Millie Bright had joked about your shared love for the sport, and even Sam Kerr had exchanged a few words with you. But there was a presence that lingered close, someone who seemed to always be nearby, watching, but never intruding.

As the night wore on, you found yourself seated at a quieter corner, enjoying the soft hum of music in the background when you heard a voice, gentle, warm, and distinctly Catalan.

- Holà, mind if I join you?

You tilted your head toward the voice and smiled.

- Not at all.

- Alexia Putellas

She said, her voice as smooth as silk. You could hear the soft clink of her glass being set down.

- I’ve been wanting to meet you all night.

Your heart skipped a beat. Alexia Putellas, the two-time Ballon d'Or winner, was sitting with you, wanting to talk to you of all people. You shifted slightly, trying to compose yourself, but your nervousness must’ve shown because she chuckled lightly.

- You’re doing amazing things. Breaking barriers in football like this, it’s inspiring.

You smiled, touched by her words.

- Thank you. It's surreal being here. I never thought I’d get the chance to attend something like this.

- You deserve to be here as much as anyone. More, even, football is for everyone.

Her voice warm and sincere. The conversation flowed easily. She asked you about your experience in blind football, about your journey, and you found yourself opening up to her. You talked about the challenges, the moments of triumph, and how much you loved the sport. Alexia was an attentive listener, never interrupting, her voice soft and encouraging whenever she spoke.

- I’ve seen clips of your matches

Alexia said at one point.

- The way you move, the way you read the game, it's… incredible. You see the pitch in ways most of us can't.

You laughed softly, feeling the heat rise to your cheeks.

- I guess I do, in my own way.

The hours passed like minutes. Her attention was unwavering, making you feel like the only person in the room. By the end of the night, you found yourself drawn to her in a way you hadn’t expected.

As the event began to wind down, you both stood up, ready to part ways. But before you could walk away, Alexia reached out, gently brushing her fingers against your arm.

- I hope this isn’t the last time we talk.

There was something unspoken in her words, something hopeful. You smiled, nodding.

- I’d like that.

And with that, she slipped her hand into yours, giving it a soft, reassuring squeeze before guiding you toward the exit. You felt the connection between you grow stronger with every word, every shared laugh, and every step you took together into the night.

Today’s random FYP pic -

She is always stunning and her fashion often captivates me but I have never been as obsessed with any of her looks as I am with this one.

It’s why he looked like this:

I know it’s going to be a controversial opinion but I’m not sure Ingrid is underrated as a defender. I see plenty of praise for her from Barca fans, but in the case of the ballon dor specifically i would have seen it as deserved if she were nominated but it’s not a robbery that she wasn’t. I was impressed with the entire Brazil defence at the olympics, and there are many individual performances that I think of before her name comes to mind when k think of centre backs. It’s my view that Irene’s bad games reflected on Ingrid aka highlighting her failures as Ingrid’s accomplishments. She does have the potential to become a great defender and I’m not disputing that but to say she is underrated is a bit far (I also think she benefits massively from pretty privilege but that’s more about the fan appreciation of her and not the general perception of her as a player)

i think we'll just have to agree to disagree when it comes to ingrid engen. 🤷‍♀️
