The Catalans are the favourites to keep the prestigious award at their club for another year.
Barcelona are the club with the most nominees for the 2023 Women’s Ballon d’Or.
Last season, the Catalans maintained their dominance in Spanish football as they claimed the Liga F trophy with a staggering record of 118 goals scored.
Barca Femeni also won the Champions League for the second time in their history, beating Wolfsburg in the final. More good news arrived for Spanish football when La Roja sealed their first-ever World Cup in the summer.
Expectedly, the majority of the nominees announced by France Football for the 2023 Women’s Ballon d’Or are from Barcelona’s squad.
Fridolina Rolfo, Salma Paralluelo, Mapi Leon, Asisat Oshoala, Patricia Guijarro, and Aitana Bonmati are the Barcelona stars who are in contention to win the prize. Most observers believe Bonmati is the main favourite to win this year’s Ballon d’Or.
In addition to his brilliant displays for Barcelona last season, Bonmati was crucial to Spain’s triumph in the World Cup. He was named the tournament’s best player after leading La Roja to the trophy.
