In 2019, she started the first UEFA Women’s Champions League final of Barcelona’s history, and later in the year was voted Catalan Player of the Year for the first time.

Early life and career

Aitana Bonmatí was born on 18 January 1998 in Vilanova i la Geltrú, the capital city of the Garraf region of Catalonia; her family lived in Sant Pere de Ribes in Garraf, where she was raised. When she was born in 1998, her parents wanted to abandon Spanish naming customs that default to the paternal surname being listed first. For the first two years of her life, she was known as Aitana Bonmatí Guidonet, with her two surnames both being from her mother. In 2000, the law in Spain changed to allow for a reversal of the custom, with Bonmatí then given her maternal surname (Bonmatí) as her first surname, and her paternal surname, Conca, to be her second surname.

In her childhood, she played basketball, but at age seven she took up football and played with boys in mixed teams. She often recalls getting picked on by boys for her short stature. The first clubs she played football with were CD Ribes and CF Cubelles, both male/mixed sex teams, which she believes helped improve her strength and intensity. At the age of 13, she joined Barcelona to play in their youth teams, where she would take two-hour long public transport rides with her father to get to practice.

International career

Bonmatí has played at every junior level of the Spain women’s national football team, including the U-17, U-19 and U-20 national teams.

Bonmatí was named the “Dare To Shine” player of the match. In the quarterfinals, she scored twice against Nigeria, but the second goal was not given despite TV replays showing it crossing the goal-line. Spain won that match 2–1 and reached the semi-final of the tournament against France. Bonmatí started the match but was sent off with a second yellow card after a challenge on France’s Selma Bacha- the only red card in the entire tournament. Up until her ejection, she had played every minute of the tournament. Spain ended up winning the match, but Bonmatí was suspended for the final where Spain fell 1–3 to Japan.
