BarcelonaAitana Bonmatí has received the The Bestthe award for the best player of 2025. After winning the third Ballon d’Or last September, the footballer from Sant Pere de Ribes has received this award for the third time in a row. Ex-Blaugrana player Ousmane Dembélé received the prize in the men’s category, in which Pedri, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha were finalists. It was at a gala that was held in Qatar without any Blaugrana present at the event. PSG was there, on the other hand, who will play the final of the Intercontinental Cup against Flamengo this Wednesday.
The Catalan player has revalidated the award after a good season with Barça and the Spanish national team, in which she played in all possible finals. In addition to winning the League, the Cup and the Super Cup, the player from Sant Pere de Ribes was runner-up in the Champions League and second in the European Cup. In addition, a few weeks ago they were crowned champions of the UEFA Nation’s League, even though the voting for the trophy was already closed. Aitana has contributed 18 goals and 15 assists between club and national team and was the top assister in the last Champions League, with five. Currently, the Catalan player is out due to injury due to a fracture in her left fibula which will keep her away from the field of play until at least April.
More Blaugranas awarded
Barça has also had a presence in the ideal eleven, both men’s and women’s. Pedri and Lamine Yamal have been chosen in a lineup in which the absence of Raphinha, the top scorer (13) and assist (9) of the last edition of the Champions League, stands out. In the women’s side, Blaugrana dominate with up to six footballers: Alexia Putellas, Claudia Pina, Patri Guijarro, Ona Batlle, Irene Paredes and Aitana Bonmatí. Former Blaugrana Ousmane Dembélé and Luis Enrique have also been rewarded with the award for best player and best coach of 2025.
