Breakthrough with FC Barcelona

Bonmatí’s breakout season came in 2018–19, when she became a regular starter for Barcelona. She scored 12 goals that year and helped the team reach their first UEFA Women’s Champions League final, though they lost 4–1 to Olympique Lyonnais. Her standout moment in that match—outrunning Shanice van de Sanden to thwart a counter-attack—highlighted her tenacity and skill. This season marked the beginning of her rise as a key figure in Barcelona’s dominance.
