Despite her cruciate ligament injury, midfield star Alexia Putellas received the award as the world's best player on the women's side.

Last season, Barcelona's captain scored 18 goals and 15 assists in 26 games in the Spanish league.

20 women's players were nominated and Fridolina Rolfö was the only Swedish player who was nominated on both the women's and men's side.

Rolfö ended up in 19th place.
