Aitana Bonmati Wins Women's Ballon d'Or 2025 Award, Spain and Barcelona Star Bags Top Prize for Third Year in a Row
The 27-year-old Spanish midfielder clinched the honour for three years in a row now becoming the first-ever player to achieve the feat since the award was introduced in the year 2018. Spain's Mariona Caldentey finished second in the Women's Ballon d'Or 2025 award race while England and Arsenal's Alessia Russo ended in the third place.
Aitana Bonmati scripted history as she won the Women's Ballon d'Or 2025 award, at the Ballon d'Or 2025 award ceremony at the Theatre du Châtelet in Paris on Tuesday, September 23. The Spain and Barcelona star established herself as a modern-day great as she won the top prize for the third year in a row, having bagged it in 2023 and 2024. The 27-year-old midfielder had a great 2024-25 season with Barcelona, with whom she won the domestic treble with 16 goals and 12 assists across competitions. She also helped Spain reach the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 final and beat off competition from fellow Spaniard Mariona Caldentey to win the Women's Ballon d'Or 2025 trophy. Aitana Bonmati winning the Women's Ballon d'Or 2025 award also marks the fifth straight year that a Barcelona player has bagged the crown after Alexia Putellas won it in the years 2021 and 2022.
