Women’s Footballer of the Year contender Bonmati

Aitana Bonmati has had a very productive year. She won three women’s Ballons d’Or titles, won a domestic treble, and advanced to the Euro 2025 final as the first woman to do so.

Her pedigree is obvious, as are her numerous awards won and awards won. She has won five Spanish Super Cups, three league titles, and three European crowns.

It was a remarkable campaign despite Barcelona’s Champions League defeat to Arsenal and her remarkable recovery from a bout of viral meningitis shortly before the start of the competition.

Spain made history by reaching the final for the first time after defeating Germany in the Euros semi-final through the creative playmaker.

She may be running at 11 p.m. at night, so keep an eye out for her. In the village, she is roosting around. There is no limit to what she can do if she continues to do that. With eight Ballons of Or, she might as well become Lionel Messi. She will be able to surpass his level.

According to Bonmati, “It’s both a source of pride and a responsibility,” according to Bonmati. Our performance and our play are judged in addition to our results. The majority of teams would be happy with just winning, but we are expected to win and perform well for ourselves and for our own sake. That is a significant responsibility.

Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, said: “Aitana Bonmati is a football player who has me completely in love with her for the way she plays. She resembles [Andres] Iniesta, the woman, in my opinion.

Even though Bonmati had the most chances last season in Liga F, only two players, Alexia Putellas and Caroline Graham Hansen, who combined for 11 and 10 assists, total, led the league.

Not a lot has been said about Bonmati, in my opinion. She claims that understanding the game, finding spaces with and without the ball, and finding solutions in each match are her greatest strengths.

This self-assessment is perfectly accurate tactfully. How far apart from others does Bonmati stand out from other people? She consistently solves issues in games thanks to her spatial awareness, game IQ, and technical proficiency.

Similar to Mariona Caldentey, but from a higher starting position, which frequently gives players less time and space, she moves to find space in a way that benefits the team.

For both club and country, Bonmati made sense of unconventional positions, occasionally even reversing them to create an overload. Although her movement frequently resulted in 3v2 or 2v1 situations, it goes against what a positional side would normally do.

Her passing and dribbling in an otherwise-worldly small space is nearly impossible to stop because of her numerical advantage.

She is also distinguished by her superiority over her contemporaries.
