Putellas equals Bonmatí with third Ballon d'Or Féminin win

Putellas wins her third Ballon d'Or Féminin, matching Bonmatí's record of three awards.

Alexia Putellas has won the 2024 Ballon d'Or Féminin, her third title in the award's history. The London City Lionesses forward, who played for Barcelona until the summer, claimed the prize following a dominant season with the Spanish club in which she won the domestic league, Copa del Rey and UEFA Women's Champions League. Putellas contributed seven goals and seven assists in Barcelona's Champions League triumph, earning her UEFA's best player award for the competition.

Putellas now matches Aitana Bonmatí's record of three Ballon d'Or Féminin wins. Bonmatí, who won the award in the three previous years, was not nominated this time. Three Dutch players—Esmee Brugts, Kerstin Casparij and Vivianne Miedema—were shortlisted but none reached the podium.
