Lamine Yamal Named LaLiga 2025-26 Player of the Season Award

Barcelona’s 18‑year‑old winger Lamine Yamal was named LaLiga’s 2025‑26 Player of the Season, earning the player award for his decisive impact during the campaign. The award was decided through a three‑stage voting process that combined fan ballots, a LaLiga expert committee and the captains of each club.

Despite missing ten matches due to injuries, Yamal remained the focal point of Barcelona’s attack throughout the campaign. He edged out high‑profile candidates such as Mbappé, Muriqi and Pablo Fornals by delivering key goals, assists and relentless pressure.

Under Hansi Flick’s management, Barcelona turned Yamal’s dynamism into a tactical asset that helped secure their league position. The accolade highlights both Yamal’s rising international profile and LaLiga’s commitment to promoting young talent.
