Barcelona Midfielder Aitana Bonmatí Becomes First Player to Reach Top 100 History Three Years in a Row
In a remarkable display of consistency and dominance, Aitana Bonmatí has become the first player to claim the top spot on the Guardian's Women's Football Top 100 list for three consecutive years. The 27-year-old midfielder has cemented her status as one of the greatest players in the women's game, surpassing even her own record-breaking feat from last year.
Bonmatí's incredible talent and work ethic have earned her widespread acclaim, with many regarding her as the best player in the world at this time. Her impressive performances on the continental stage, including a Champions League final appearance and a Euro 2025 semi-final victory, have been widely praised by coaches, opponents, and fans alike.
The midfielder's success is all the more remarkable considering she will be missing over four months of action due to a broken leg sustained in training before the Nations League final. Her absence will undoubtedly be felt, but Bonmatí's legacy as one of the greatest players in women's football history remains secure.
The Guardian's Top 100 list has grown exponentially since its inception, with this year's rankings featuring almost a quarter of new faces. The growth and increasing competitiveness of the women's game are being reflected in these rankings, with talented players from around the world making their debut or rising up the ranks.
While other countries like England, Spain, and the USA have seen significant success on the continental stage, Bonmatí remains at the top, a testament to her consistency and dominance over the past three years. Her leadership and influence both on and off the pitch have made her an icon not just in Catalonia but across the globe.
As Bonmatí continues to break records and defy expectations, one thing is clear: she will be remembered as one of the all-time greats in women's football for generations to come.
