LONDON -- Barcelona and Spain midfielder Aitana Bonmatí cemented her place at the top of women's football on Monday, winning FIFA's The Best women's award to go alongside her Ballon d'Or Féminin title.

Bonmatí enjoyed a record-breaking season with club country in which she helped Barça to win Liga F amid a two-year unbeaten run that ended on the last day of the season, followed by leading Spain to win their first-ever Women's World Cup title.

She was named Player of the Tournament in Australia and New Zealand, as well as being crowned UEFA Women's Player of the Year.

The other two nominees shortlisted for Monday's award were Real Madrid's Linda Caicedo, who had an outstanding World Cup with Colombia, and Tigres UANL's Jenni Hermoso, who played with Bonmatí for Spain and kickstarted a MeToo movement in the country over the behaviour of federation president Luis Rubiales.

Bonmatí's award continues Barça's hold over the women's prize, with midfielder Alexia Putellas having won the award in 2021 and 2022, although she has made just a handful appearances in the past 12 months due to an ACL injury.

The timeline for the award was between Dec. 19, 2022 and Aug. 20, 2023 -- the day of the Women's World Cup final.

The three nominees for the award were compiled, FIFA said, in collaboration with its "football stakeholders," with shortlists determined by two separate panels of former players and coaches. The winner of the award was then voted between journalists, fans, national team captains and managers.

Earlier in Monday's ceremony, Lionel Messi won his third FIFA the Best men's award.
