Barcelona and Spain star Aitana Bonmati on Monday won her second successive women’s Ballon d’Or, after leading her club to an historic continental quadruple of titles and claiming the Nations League with her country.
The 26-year-old playmaker joins team-mate Alexia Putellas as the only woman to win the Ballon d’Or twice, since the award’s inauguration in 2018.
Bonmati after winning the award said, “Thank you so much for your applause. I’m so grateful to be here to receive this award for the second time.
“I always say this is not something that you can do alone, I’m so lucky to be surrounded by wonderful players who help me to keep growing into a better player. So thank you to my teammates because without them I wouldn’t be here, I would also like to thank my club and Joan Laporta.”
Bonmati follows club and international team mate Alexia Putellas in winning back to back titles.
