Aitana Bonmatí Conca is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Liga F club Barcelona and Spain women’s national team. She is considered one of the best players in women’s football.
Bonmatí has been with Barcelona since 2012, developing through La Masia for six years. She was promoted to Barcelona’s first team ahead of the 2016–17 season, and made off-the-bench appearances for the club until her break-out year in the 2018–19 season. 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.
Aitana Bonmatí was born on 18 January 1998 in Vilanova i la Geltrú, a town of the Garraf region of Catalonia.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.
