Aitana Bonmatí has become the most decorated player in Ballon d'Or history after winning the award for the third time, joining legends like Cruyff, Platini, and Van Basten, while only Messi and Ronaldo surpass her. She achieved a historic hat-trick, a feat only accomplished by Messi and Platini.

The award came after an exceptional individual season, despite losing the Champions League final with Barcelona and the Euro final with Spain, where she was chosen by coaches as the best player in both tournaments.

In terms of statistics, she played 3,278 minutes, scored 15 goals, and provided 12 assists, directly influencing 27 goals, leading the team in the toughest moments with her vision and precise passes.

Winning the third award reflects Aitana's ambition and determination to return and compete for the fourth Ballon d'Or next season, bringing her closer to Messi and Ronaldo in history.
