The Spaniard also finished second in the Champions League with Barcelona, ​​who lost to Arsenal in the final.

He said of the Fifa award: “I’m grateful to have this honour. I wouldn’t have won this award if it wasn’t for all the players, coaches and fans – [but] I will enjoy it.”

Bonmati was also awarded the women’s Ballon d’Or award in September, becoming the first player to win the award three times, which she also won in 2023 and 2024.

He picked up the Fifa Best award in 2024, following a historic quadruple win with Barcelona, ​​and in 2023, following a World Cup triumph with Spain.

Arsenal and Spain midfielder Mariona Caldentey and Barcelona striker Alexia Putellas have also been nominated for this year’s Fifa Best award.
