Aitana Bonmatí claimed her third consecutive Women’s Ballon d’Or at the 2025 ceremony held in Paris. The Barcelona midfielder played a key role in her club’s incredible domestic treble, which included winning the league, Copa, and Supercopa titles. She also helped Barcelona reach the Women’s Champions League final, where they narrowly lost 1-0 to Arsenal.
Bonmatí also had a standout tournament with Spain at the Women’s EURO 2025. She scored a crucial extra-time goal in the semi-final, helping her country reach the final. After receiving the award, Bonmatí said,
“I never thought I could achieve this. I’m proud to be here.”
Arsenal earned the Women’s Club of the Year award after winning their first Women’s Champions League title in 18 years. They defeated Barcelona in the final to claim this historic trophy.
This year, three new awards were introduced to celebrate women’s football: the Women’s Yashin Trophy for the best goalkeeper, the Women’s Kopa Trophy for the best young player, and the Women’s Gerd Müller Trophy for the top scorer across club and national competitions.
Nineteen-year-old Barcelona star Vicky López won the inaugural Women’s Kopa Trophy. She was instrumental in Barcelona’s treble-winning season and Spain’s run to the EURO final. Chelsea goalkeeper Hannah Hampton received the Women’s Yashin Trophy after keeping 13 clean sheets in Chelsea’s unbeaten league campaign and delivering crucial performances for England. Poland’s Ewa Pajor claimed the Women’s Gerd Müller Trophy, scoring 43 goals in 46 appearances for Barcelona.
England coach Sarina Wiegman won the Women’s Johan Cruyff Trophy. She led England to their second consecutive Women’s EURO title and has now won three consecutive EURO tournaments as a coach, including with the Netherlands in 2017.
