'Spain National University' Barcelona midfielder Einata Bonmati has won the Women's Ballon d'Or for the first time in a row.
Bonmati has achieved the feat of winning the award for the third year in a row following 2023 and 2024 after Warsaw colleague Alexia Puteyas won the award for the second consecutive time in 2021 and 2022. Barcelona's aces have also written the history of monopolizing the award over the past five years.
Bon Marty, who received the trophy from Barcelona legend Andrés Iniesta on the stage of the awards ceremony held on the 23rd (Korea time), said "It's been three years in a row, and I still can't believe it. That's amazing. Thank you for French football. It's my third award, but it was an award that anyone could get"I'd like to do so if I could share the prize. Especially because there was a high level of competition among team-mates and everyone had a great year..." he said with humility. "It is even more special to receive the award directly from Andrés Iniesta and Xavi, who have been my idols since childhood. I learned soccer from them, and thank you for everything you have taught me to this day. Thank you for everything they have contributed to football," he said, bowing his head.
Bon Marty said "It's all thanks to Barcelona. This is the club of my life. I want to play with this badge for a long time"He expressed his absolute affection for Warsaw.
Bon Marty's fellow Spanish winger Mariona Cal dentei (Arnall) came in second, while Alessia Russo (Arnall England), Alexia Puteyas (Barcelona Spain), and Chloe Kelly (Man City, Arsenal, England) came in third to fifth. In the top 10, five England national teams, including Russo and Kelly, seventh-ranked Lia Williamson (Arnall), ninth-ranked Lucy Bronze (Chelsea), and 10th-ranked Hannah Hampton, proved England's strides in winning the women's Euros by defeating giant Spain. Barcelona also proved itself to be the world's strongest women's soccer club, producing four of the top 10 players, including Bon Marty, Puteyas, Patricia Gajiro and Eva Fayor. England's women's national team coach Sarina Wiegmann won the Women's Coach Award, while England's goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, who showed a stormy defense in the Women's Euro 2025, won the Best Women's Goalkeeper Award.
Midfielder Bon Marty, who led Spain to victory in the 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, played brilliantly in the women's Euro 2025 as well as his team Barcelona this season. In fact, until a few days before the opening of the tournament, he was hospitalized for viral meningitis, and his participation itself was in an uncertain crisis. However, Bon Marty miraculously recovered from his hospital bed and scored a semi-final and extra-time final goal against Germany to lead his country Spain to the final, and struggled in the final against England, but lost the penalty shootout unfortunately. Former England midfielder Farah Williams told the BBC at the time that `If Spain wants to win, a player like Bon Marty must lead the game and score the winning goal at a moment like this.' Bon Marty is a player who always changes the flow of the game and leads the game. "Spain did not win the Euros after winning the World Cup two years ago, but it was another brilliant season for Barcelona midfielder Bon Marty," the BBC said. Thanks to Bon Marty's performance, Barcelona won the treble and reached the final of the Women's European Champions League. Despite losing to Arsenal in the European Champions League final, and to England in the Euro 2025 final, she was brilliant. Despite finishing second, Bonmati was named the UEFA MVP, contributed nine goals in 11 matches and saved his team at the crucial moment by scoring in the second semi-final away match (4–1 win) against Chelsea. The same was true of Euro 2025.
Bon Marty's all-time winning career is truly spectacular. He has won three consecutive Ballon d'Or titles from 2023 to 2025, FIFA's best female player from 2023 to 2024, and the European Champions League season's best female player. The world's best and all-time best player, Bonmaty, has swept all the world's trophies in Barcelona, including seven league championships, three European tournaments, nine Copadella Reina championships and five Spanish Super Cups.
