Aitana Bonmatí shines as Spain beat England to win 2023 Women’s World Cup

The largest contingent of Barcelona Femení players in the 2023 Women’s World Cup can call themselves world champions: Spain have won their first ever gold medal in the women’s game thanks to a 1-0 win over Lucy Bronze and Keira Walsh’s England in Sunday’s Final in Sydney, and nine Barça players have now led La Roja to a historic victory.
