The post-ceremony show on CBS has been dominated by the panel’s disagreement over who should have won the Ballon d’Or Feminin.
No one is denying Bonmati’s brilliance, but whether she should have won this year’s award is certainly up for debate.
Mariona Caldentey was named the Player of the Season in the WSL, which was won by her club — and European champions — Arsenal before she was part of the Spain team that reached the Euros final.
Alessia Russo, meanwhile, could have done no more. She too was a key member of that Arsenal team and then helped England to another European crown, scoring their only goal in the final.
Bonmati has been the world’s best footballer for the last few years, no doubt, but I’m not sure she was the stand-out this season.
