Bonmatí named UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 Player of the Tournament as England retain title

Two-time Ballon d’Or winner, Aitana Bonmatí has been crowned Player of the Tournament at UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 following Spain’s runner-up finish in Switzerland.

The 26-year-old FC Barcelona midfielder was recognised after Sunday’s final for her outstanding influence throughout the competition.

Bonmatí contributed one goal and one assist, including the decisive strike in Spain’s semi-final victory over Germany, helping La Roja reach their first-ever European Championship final. Spain’s campaign ended in heartbreak after a penalty shootout defeat to England in Basel.

England successfully defended the title they won in 2022, with 19-year-old forward Michelle Agyemang earning the Young Player of the Tournament award. The teenage sensation, only made her senior debut in April but scored two crucial goals en route to England’s back-to-back triumphs.

The Golden Boot went to Spain’s Esther González, whose four goals in six matches made her the tournament’s top scorer. The Gotham FC striker played a key role in Spain’s attacking threat despite their narrow final loss.
