Aitana Bonmatí received the only individual award she was missing to complete a dream 2024. The FC Barcelona player repeated as the best footballer in the world, winning the Globe Soccer Award in Dubai.
This Friday, the annual gala of the Globe Soccer Awards was held, where Aitana Bonmatí reclaimed the award for best player in the world. The star of FC Barcelona Women was not present at the 15th edition of the awards, so the club's representative, Xavi Puig, received the only individual distinction that the 26-year-old player had yet to receive.
The '14' culé had previously won the Ballon d'Or, FIFA The Best, and the Golden Player Woman from 'Tuttosport', in addition to the Creu de Sant Jordi awarded by the Generalitat de Catalunya. Collectively, the year was also perfect for Aitana, as Barça achieved the treble (League, Cup, and Champions). Therefore, the azulgrana team received the award for Best Women's Club of the Year at the gala held in Dubai.
Best player of 2024 at the 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬! 🏆
