Following on from Alexia- Aitana
Aitana wants to win the award for Barça, following Alexia Putellas, who won it in 2021 and 2022.
She’s the top choice to win because she already got the Ballon d’Or, Golden Woman, UEFA Player of the Year, and was named MVP in both the UWCL and the World Cup.
Best goalkeeper and coach
Barça has two more possible award winners. Cata Coll is in the running for the best women’s goalkeeper alongside Mackenzie Arnold and Mary Earps. Meanwhile, Jonatan Giráldez will be competing with Emma Hayes and Sarina Wiegman for the coaching prize.
