Aitana Bonmati Claims Inaugural Ballon d’Or Feminin Title: A Year of Remarkable Achievements
In a year of extraordinary accomplishments both at the club and international level, Barcelona Femeni’s standout talent, Aitana Bonmati, has been crowned with her first-ever Ballon d’Or Feminin award. The accolade not only recognizes Bonmati’s exceptional contributions but also reinforces Barcelona’s supremacy in women’s football.
The 25-year-old midfielder left an indelible mark in 2022/23, amassing an impressive record of 19 goals and 19 assists across various competitions. Her remarkable performances significantly contributed to Barcelona’s remarkable triumphs: clinching the Liga F, UEFA Women’s Champions League, and Supercopa de Espana treble.
However, Bonmati’s consistent brilliance extended beyond the club season. During the summer, she played a pivotal role in Spain’s maiden FIFA Women’s World Cup victory, triumphing over England in the final held in Sydney. With three goals and two assists to her name, Bonmati secured the prestigious Golden Ball award, edging out her teammate, Jenni Hermoso.
Aitana Bonmati’s Ballon d’Or Feminin title in 2023 further solidifies Barcelona’s recent reign in women’s football, following in the footsteps of Alexia Putellas, who claimed the award in both 2021 and 2022.
