A new full season for Aitana Bonmati. FC Barcelona genius midfielder, the 27 -year -old Spanish player once again helped the Catalan to win the Spanish championship and the Spanish Super Cup. If this was not enough in the Champions League final against Arsenal (1-0 defeat), the defending double holder of the Ballon d'Or had the opportunity to bounce back with its selection during Euro 2025. With Spain which won the 2023 World Cup and the 2024 Nations League, the objective was to make the hat-trick with the European championship. A competition where Roja has often disappointed since it remains on three failures in the quarterfinals.
Before being the owner of this team, Aitana Bonmati, however, played bad luck. Victim of big meningitis and angina, she almost missed competition as she recently entrusted to an interview for AS : «I'm doing very well. Fortunately, it was very fast. When I entered the hospital, I didn't really know when I would go out … Fortunately, I recovered very quickly. I have good bases, and it helped me overcome this disease that came overnight. Thursday, I woke up very sick, and Saturday, I was already going better. I am very happy to be able to compete in the euro. In the hospital, I didn't know if I would get there.»
Aitana Bonmati is gaining momentum, Spain is not in a hurry
Participating in the competition and thus believing in this historic hat -trick is therefore an objective of achieving for Aitana Bonmati who finally foiled the medical forecasts to participate in the competition: “When I felt better, the hospital told me that they couldn't help me anymore. My only concern was to qualify for the first match. This is what a player is preparing, for a tournament like this. It was a disease from which I got out healthy and saved, and which did not affect me much physically. I always had the Euro in mind. I couldn't afford to miss it. When they announced the date to me, they told me that I would be there for five to ten days. In reality, I stayed there three, four… really two and a half days.»
A race against the watch won by Aitana Bonmati who was able to return to the team for the competition in time and to be available for the first match against Portugal. “”Yesterday, Aitana made part of the training aside, and its progress is positive. Aitana is looking forward to playing, and we have to slow it down, but its health is essential. It was not good because we were afraid. Aitana is a very strong and impatient player to play tomorrow. For its part, the will was there. Excellent work has been accomplished“Said the selector Montserrat Tomé. Replacement during a wide success 5-0 against the Portuguese, Aitana Bonmati played ten minutes to confirm that it was better. Again on the bench against Belgium (6-2), this time she played 45 minutes when she entered the break. What confirm a real rise in power.
However, the will is not to go too fast to rely on the one who is considered the best player in the world. Indeed, the Spanish services are excellent and Roja is already qualified in the quarter -finals. So berizález, Alexia Putellas or Mariona Caldentony are a hit, Aitana Bonmati can slowly recover her sensations to be 100% available from the quarter -finals for the moment when her selection will need the most. “”You have to be patient and progress accordingly. We do not want to take risks with her, because she is a key and vital player for our team. As I said, we have other players who also allow us to maintain our level, even if everyone is different. I think Aitana will be 100 %. Everything is a matter of management, and we must be intelligent“I said Montserrat Tomé. Doing without a double golden ball and crushing the competition, Spain is more than ever the favorite of Euro 2025 and risks doing even worse with the return in the form of Aitana Bonmati.
