Aitana Bonmatí makes Guardian top 100 history with third title in a row

[Biblical]

Aitana Bonmatí has cemented her status as a women's football legend by becoming the first player to top the Guardian's top 100 history for a third consecutive year. The 27-year-old midfielder has reigned supreme in the world rankings, edging out compatriot Mariona Caldentey by a narrow margin of 453 points.

Bonmatí's dominance is not surprising, given her consistent performances on the continental stage and her role as a key player for Barcelona and Spain. She has become synonymous with the Blaugrana stripes, making over 300 appearances for the Catalan giants in all competitions. The Catalonia-born starlet has also won two major titles, including the Champions League and Euro.

Despite missing out on significant silverware this year due to injury, Bonmatí's brilliance on the field continues to earn her recognition from judges around the world. Her impressive rankings are a testament to her exceptional skill, dedication, and leadership on the pitch.

The Guardian's top 100 list also reflects the rapid growth of women's football globally, with almost a quarter of this year's 100 being brand new faces. The USA, England, and France remain among the top nations in terms of player representation, while Brazil has moved into the top five for the first time.

Bonmatí stands head and shoulders above her peers, solidifying her position as one of the greatest players of all time. Her influence extends beyond the pitch, with her name becoming synonymous with excellence and dedication in women's football.

I mean can you even imagine if women's football wasn't getting the recognition it deserves? Aitana Bonmatí's consistency is mind-blowing and she's basically a superhero on the pitch, leading Barcelona to those major titles and still managing to dominate in individual rankings. The fact that she's 27 and still going strong just goes to show how dedicated she is to her craft. And it's not just about her - this ranking highlights how far women's football has come, with so many talented players emerging from around the world . I think we can all agree that Bonmatí is a legend in the making and if you ask me, she'll be up there with the likes of Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan as one of the greatest female footballers of all time

idk how people are making a big deal about this , it's just another woman doing what she does best on the field. Aitana Bonmatí is talented don't get me wrong but so are many others who didn't make the top 100 . And yeah sure women's football is growing globally but let's not forget the millions of other amazing players out there, most of whom won't be getting the same level of recognition as bonmatí . also can we stop putting her on a pedestal already? she's still human and makes mistakes, just like everyone else .

I mean think about it... Aitana Bonmatí's dominance on the field is like a reflection of our own personal journeys, you know? We're all striving for greatness, but sometimes life gets in the way and we have to take a step back. I'm not saying she didn't face any challenges, but she still managed to come out on top. That's what makes her a legend

And can we talk about how this changes the game? The growth of women's football globally is like a wave that's gonna keep growing and growing. It's not just about the players anymore; it's about creating opportunities for others to shine too

I'm also loving how Aitana's name is becoming synonymous with excellence in women's football. She's breaking down barriers and inspiring a whole new generation of female players. That's what it's all about, you know? Leaving a mark on the world that'll outlast us

Aitana Bonmatí is on fire ! I mean, 3 years in a row at number one? That's insane ! She's been killing it on the field, leading Barcelona to major titles and putting up stats that make me go weak in the knees . And let's be real, her injury-plagued season didn't hold her back . The growth of women's football is also super exciting , with more new faces popping up all over the world. It's awesome to see the US, England, and France dominating it as usual , but it's cool to see Brazil moving up to number 5 too . Bonmatí's the real MVP (Most Valuable Player) of women's football right now !

I'm so stoked to see Aitana Bonmatí breaking records and repping Spain on the field! She's a total inspiration for young girls and women everywhere who want to play footy. It's awesome to see her dominating the rankings for three years in a row, she must be working super hard to maintain that level of skill . And it's dope to see more countries getting involved in women's football, like Brazil making it into the top five! We need more women's sports getting the recognition they deserve .

Ugh, can't they just have a proper leaderboard or ranking system? I mean, 453 points is crazy! How are people even supposed to compete with that kinda lead? And what's up with the ranking going back three years? It feels like they're just trying to keep her on top forever. Anyway, congrats to Aitana for winning it again , but can we please get some more variety in the rankings or something?

idk how she got 453 points ahead of another player though that seems way too much for any human to achieve is there some kinda scoring system we dont know about? also i love that there are more new faces on the list, it shows how far womens football has come but like when are they gonna be able to compete with mens teams without getting injured or something

 

[Exuberan]

can't believe she's done it for the third year in a row!! 453 points edge out her teammate is insane!! but honestly, no surprise from Aitana, she's been killing it on the pitch for years the growth of women's football is crazy to see so many new faces making a name for themselves and the USA, England, and France still dominating

 

[Poor Piran]

omg cant believe aitana is at number 1 again she's literally unstoppable i mean who else can say they've won a champs league title and are still dominating the rankings? meanwhile these new faces are awesome but let's be real, aitana's been killing it for years the usa, england, and france should take notes on how to develop their own talent

Ugh, can we talk about the Guardian's website for a sec? Their rankings page is SO bloated I mean, it's cool that they're recognizing Aitana Bonmatí as one of the best players ever, but do they have to make us scroll through so many unnecessary stats and info? Like, can't we just get straight to the point? And what's up with the ranking system? It feels like it's all over the place. I'm just trying to catch up on some footy news and now my eyes are glazing over from too much data

I'm so stoked to see Aitana Bonmatí on that Guardian top 100 list again ! I mean, she's been killing it for years now and it's totally deserved. I've followed her career since Barcelona started dominating the Champions League, remember when they won in 2020? It was insane to see the way she controlled the game alongside Marta Torrejón. And let's be real, who else can say they're on that list three years in a row? The growth of women's football is so cool too - it's amazing to see all these new talented players emerging from around the world. I think Aitana's influence goes way beyond just her playing skills, she's basically the icon for female footballers everywhere

Yaaas I'm so hyped for Aitana Bonmatí!!! She's literally on fire! I mean, 3 years in a row on The Guardian's top 100 is no joke - she's got the skills, work ethic, and leadership to back it up. Her dedication to the sport is inspiring, especially considering all the titles she's won with Barcelona and Spain. The fact that almost a quarter of this year's list are new faces shows how fast women's football is growing and I'm loving it!
