Spain is currently in a joyous state following victory in the 2023 World Cup final over England. Olga Carmoso’s goal separated the sides in Sydney, and it was enough to see La Roja emerge victorious.
So many players stood out from Jorge Vilda’s side, but there was one in particular that was absolutely outstanding whenever she stepped on the pitch, and that was Aitana Bonmati. The 25-year-old only got three goals and two assists, but her overall play was a level above.
Unsurprisingly, Bonmati was been awarded the Golden Ball for the 2023 World Cup, making her the best player in the tournament.
Bonmati is now the heavy favourite to pick up the Ballon d’Or Feminin, which would be the first of her career, but surely not the last.
Bonmati was part of a nine-woman strong Barcelona contingent in the Spain squad that have just become world champions, in what is an excellent moment for the Catalan club.

For those arguing that World cup is not enough for Messi to win Balon D'or, did you read that Bonmati is now a heavy favourite to win Balon D'or for ladies'? In a world cup year, if you re the winner of the world cup and it's best player, plus you did win stuff at club level, no other person will win the Balon D'or over you.

She's called the feminine iniesta, very skillful with much energy. Also England shotstopper was on fire, she kept the game alive and enjoyable

Even when the Spain won FIFA men's world cup it was led by Barcelona players like Pique, Puyol, Alba, Xavi, Iniesta, Villa and Fabregas. And same for women's team with the likes of Putellas, bonmati and may others as well. Whenever there is Barcelona influence, the team will not stop winning, just love to see Barcelona style in Spain national team and with that they are unbeatable

🎙️Pep Guardiola: "Aitana Bonmatí is a footballer that I am completely in love with the way she plays. I would say she's like the '𝐈𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚' of women's football."
