Spain and Barcelona midfielder Aitana Bonmati has won the women's Ballon d'Or for the second year in a row.
Bonmati won every possible trophy at club level last season as Barcelona secured a historic quadruple - winning Liga F, the Champions League, Supercopa and Copa de la Reina.
The 26-year-old scored a career-best tally of 19 goals across all four competitions.
Bonmati also spearheaded Spain's charge to the inaugural Women's Nations League title in February with four goals, including one in their 2-0 win over France in the final.
"Thank you so much for your applause. I'm so grateful to be here to receive this award for the second time," Bonmati said after she received the award in Paris.
"I always say this is not something that you can do alone, I'm so lucky to be surrounded by wonderful players who help me to keep growing into a better player."
England's Lauren James achieved a 13th-place finish in the voting, while her Lionesses team-mates Lucy Bronze and Lauren Hemp finished 20th and 28th, respectively.
Emma Hayes became the first winner of the women's coach of the year award after leading Chelsea to a fifth straight Women's Super League title before guiding the United States to Olympic gold at Paris 2024.
