Aitana Bonmatí cements herself as one of the all-time greats in women's football, becoming the first player to top the Guardian's top 100 history list for a third consecutive year. The 27-year-old midfielder has set an incredible benchmark, surpassing her Barcelona and Spain teammate Alexia Putellas' record by dominating the charts once again.
Bonmatí's remarkable consistency is a testament to her exceptional skill and work rate. With 43% of the No 1 votes, she has asserted her position at the top of the list, ahead of compatriot Mariona Caldentey with 21%. The fact that Bonmatí has become synonymous with Barcelona, the club where she has made over 300 appearances in all competitions, speaks to her dedication and commitment to the sport.
Despite not ending 2025 on European soil with major silverware, Bonmatí's performances on the continental stage have earned her a place in the top 10 for the first time. Her dominance is a reflection of her impressive individual talent and her ability to step up when needed most.
The growth of women's football continues to be evident, as almost a quarter of this year's 100 were brand new faces. The introduction of Northern Super League representatives Esther Okoronkwo and Canada's Esther González highlights the sport's increasing popularity and competitiveness.
However, Bonmatí remains the benchmark against which all others are measured. Her dedication, skill, and leadership have earned her a reputation as one of the greatest players in modern women's football history.

! She's been dominating the charts for three years straight and it's crazy to think that anyone can catch up with her now 
. I mean, she's got over 300 appearances under her belt for Barcelona and Spain, which is just mind-blowing 
. And despite not winning any major trophies last year, she still managed to make the top 10 in Europe 
. It's clear that she's more than just a great player, she's a leader on the field, inspiring her teammates to step up their game 
. The growth of women's football is awesome to see and I'm so stoked to be living in a time where we get to witness greatness like Bonmatí

I think it's pretty obvious that Aitana Bonmatí is on top of her game right now! She's been dominating the charts for years and it's clear she has an incredible work rate, you can just imagine her grinding on the pitch 
. It's also awesome to see more women coming into the sport, like Esther Okoronkwo and Esther González - they're part of what's making women's football so exciting! 
What's really interesting is that she's not just a Barcelona player, but a symbol of her club - it shows how dedicated she is to her team. 
. I mean, Aitana Bonmatí is amazing and all, but let's not put too much pressure on her, right? She's already set this impossibly high standard, what if she has a bad game next week? 
And don't even get me started on the growth of women's football - it's still so exclusive, only a quarter of new faces means most of them are just being replaced by newer, younger talent... meanwhile, who cares about Esther Okoronkwo and Canada's Esther González? They're not even trying to reach Bonmatí's level 
.
, she's been on fire! The fact that she's dominated the charts for the third year in a row is a testament to her hard work and skill 
. And yeah, it's awesome to see more new faces making an impact in women's football 
, like Esther Okoronkwo and Esther González, they're bringing a fresh energy to the sport! 
. What impresses me most is how consistent she is - 300+ appearances for Barcelona, year after year, showing up in every big game. And don't even get me started on her continental performances... the fact that she's breaking records left and right is just insane 
And it's awesome to see more women getting recognized for their skills in football, especially from new faces like Esther Okoronkwo and Esther González! 
.
! And don't even get me started on how consistent she is - it's like she's got a PhD in footy 
. The growth of women's football is awesome, but let's be real, Aitana's the one who makes it cool 
. She's the ultimate #GirlBoss of the pitch 
. And can we talk about how amazing it is to see more new faces making waves? It's like the future is bright and it's all because of talented ladies like Bonmatí 
!
Aitana Bonmatí is on fire this year! She's got 43% of those top 100 votes and it's hard to argue against that she's the best of the best right now 
Her consistency is a testament to her skill and work rate - that's what separates the greats from the good ones.
. But what's even more impressive is how she's become synonymous with Barcelona FC - 300+ appearances? That's dedication 
. And it's awesome to see women's football growing, with new faces on the list this year 
. I don't know how she does it, but her work rate is on another level 
️
. The fact that so many new talented players are breaking into the top 100 this year is awesome, Esther Okoronkwo and Esther González from the Northern Super League are total inspirations 
There's gotta be some hidden agenda here. First off, she makes it to the top 100 list for a third year in a row? That's like, impossible! It's almost like they're trying to create a myth around her or something. And what's with all these new faces on the list this year? Is that just a coincidence? I don't think so...
