A stacked Group G headlines the draw for Europe’s top club competition while the Matildas captain’s own stellar European season has again been rewarded.
But there was no surprise when Bonmati, the outstanding player at both the World Cup and in her club Barcelona’s Champions League-winning run, was awarded top prize at the ceremony in Monaco.
“I would like to dedicate this award to the Spanish team. This team deserves to be celebrated and deserves to be listened to, and I’m going to give them again a big applause and I hope you will join,” she told the audience, who duly saluted them. Paris Saint-Germain will kick off their quest for a maiden Champions League trophy in a strong Group F featuring Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan and Newcastle United.
Record 14-time winners Real Madrid will play Serie A champions Napoli, Braga and Union Berlin in Group C.
