Aitana Bonmati has been crowned the 2025 Ballon d’Or Féminin winner, becoming the first woman ever to claim the award three times in a row.

Her victory at the 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris confirms her as the world’s best female footballer for the 2024-25 season.

Naija News reports that Bonmatí’s performance over the past season was nothing short of extraordinary. Though Barcelona narrowly missed reclaiming the Champions League crown, Aitana’s influence was felt in every competition she played.

Her leadership in Red & Blaugrana’s midfield, key goals, assists, and her performances at UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 all combined to give her a clear edge over her rivals.

While competitors like Mariona Caldentey, Alessia Russo and Alexia Putellas had memorable moments, none matched Bonmatí’s consistency, creativity, and decisive contributions in major matches.

Her third consecutive win underlines not just individual brilliance, but also the rising standards in women’s football globally. Among pundits, she is being hailed as redefining what it means to be a midfielder in the modern women’s game.
