Spanish midfielder Aitana Bonmati clinched the Golden Ball award on Sunday for being the standout player in this year’s Women’s World Cup. This recognition came after her team secured a 1-0 victory against England in the final match.
The versatile 25-year-old Barcelona star had a phenomenal tournament, playing in every game and was a cornerstone of Jorge Vilda’s side.
“I don’t have the words. I am so proud, we had a great tournament,” Bonmati told the BBC.
Japan’s Hinata Miyazawa took out the Golden Boot for the tournament’s top scorer with five goals.
England’s remarkably impressive goalkeeper, Mary Earps, who made a crucial penalty save in the final on Sunday, secured the Golden Glove award. The honor for the best young player was bestowed upon the talented teenage Spanish striker, Salma Paralluelo.
Spain’s triumph over England marked their inaugural World Cup victory, a historic achievement for the nation.
