USMWT star Rapinoe claims second-ever Ballon d'Or Femenin

USWNT star Megan Rapinoe claimed Ballon d'Or Femenin in Paris on Monday night, becoming the second woman to ever win the prize after Ada Hegerberg.

The 34-year-old picked up the accolade after an outstanding year in which she won the Women's World Cup for the second time in her career, earning the Golden Boot and the Golden Ball at the tournament, as well as being named the player of the match in the final.

She has already been handed an individual gong this year, picking up The Best FIFA Women's Player award and being named in the FIFPro World XI, and now as the Ballon d'Or Femenin to add to her considerable collection of personal prizes.
