Aitana Bonmatí has solidified her status as one of the world's top female footballers after becoming the first player to finish at the top of the Guardian's Top 100 history for a third consecutive year. The 27-year-old Barcelona midfielder has been on an incredible run, outpacing her teammates in both Spain and club sides.
As the women's game continues to grow exponentially, Bonmatí remains at the forefront, defying attempts from up-and-coming talents. Her impressive performances have earned her a reputation for stepping up when it matters most, making her synonymous with Barcelona's Blaugrana stripes.
Despite missing several months of action due to injury, Bonmatí's dominance on the pitch has been undeniable. With 43% of the No.1 votes, she edges out Mariona Caldentey and Alessia Russo, solidifying her position as one of the greatest female footballers in history.
The Guardian's Top 100 continues to evolve, with a quarter of this year's entries being brand new faces. This emphasizes the rapid growth and development of women's football globally. England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton shot straight into the top five after her Euro-winning performances, while players like Vicky López, Sofia Cantore, and Nathalie Björn made significant strides.
Brazil has moved into the top five for the first time with five players, following their Copa América success, and the Women's Super League asserts its dominance with 39 players on the list. The USA and France round out the top three nations by player count, while Spain falls just behind England.
Bonmatí stands tall above her peers, earning recognition as one of the greatest female footballers in history.
