Amaru-
Alexia Putellas has always known exactly what she wants.
Football. Victory. Greatness.
Everything else comes second.
When articles about Arsenal's newest wonderkid begin flooding social media, Alexia pays them no attention. She doesn't care about the girl everyone suddenly can't stop talking about. She doesn't care about the goals, the assists, or the records being broken.
Until she can't escape it.
Her teammates mention her constantly. Pundits call her the future of women's football. And with Barcelona and Arsenal on a collision course in the UEFA Women's Champions League, Alexia knows it's only a matter of time before they meet.
Liv Vermeer came out of nowhere.
One day nobody knew her name.
The next, the football world couldn't stop saying it.
But Liv never wanted fame. She never wanted attention. She only wanted football.
While others chase headlines, Liv chases perfection.
Training. Matches. Recovery. Analysis.
Repeat.
Her apartment walls are covered in tactical notes and scribbled formations. Her free time is spent studying opponents or finding new ways to improve. Every decision, every sacrifice, every sleepless night serves one purpose:
Be the best.
As their paths continue to cross on football's biggest stages, admiration turns into rivalry, rivalry turns into obsession, and neither woman can ignore the other any longer.
Because for the first time in her life, Alexia Putellas has found someone who understands her.
And that might be the most dangerous thing of all.
