Bonmati receives Balloon d'Or third time in row

Barcelona and Spain star Aitana Bonmati won the Women's Balloon d'Or at an awards ceremony in Paris on Monday, the third consecutive year she has taken the prize.

She expressed her thought that the Balloon d'Or is a global showcase that obviously changes the life. Bonmati edged out Mariona Caldentey, her teammate in the Spain side beaten on penalties by England in the Women's Euro 2025 final in July. The Balloon d'Or is the most prestigious individual prize in both men's and women's football.
