The Ballon d'Or is the most prestigious individual prize in both men's and women's football, and Bonmatí's run of three in a row follows back-to-back victories for her Barcelona and Spain teammate Alexia Putellas. Meanwhile, France forward Ousmane Dembélé won the men's Ballon d'Or on Monday.

The French forward is favourite to beat the young Spanish, while Spain is likely to dominate the women's category again.
