Aitana Bonmati believes she is part of a “golden generation” of Spanish football as they prepare for the Euro 2025 final against England.
The midfielder scored the winning goal in the semi-final as they beat Germany 1-0 after extra time, and also provided a backheel assist in their last-eight win over Switzerland.
Following their 2023 World Cup triumph, Spain are looking to become just the second nation to hold both titles at the same time in women’s football, after Germany did so between 2001 and 2009.
Bonmati is one of many talented players in the Spain squad, alongside fellow Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas, one of the favourites to win the award this year, in Arsenal’s Mariona Caldentey, and promising youngster Claudia Pina.
“I think there has already been confirmation, with all due respect. This shows that we are a golden generation. We are experiencing unique things,” said Bonmati.
