Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal crowned La Liga Player of the Season for 2025/26

The 18 year old played a key role in Barcelona retaining their domestic title. He also became the first player to win the La Liga Player of the Month award three times in a single season, and ended the campaign as the club's leading scorer in the league with 16 goals and 11 assists.

Barcelona's Hansi Flick was named Coach of the Year on Thursday.

Speaking about Yamal, Barcelona said in a statement: "He is the proverbial headache for opposition defences, who must work extremely hard to try and halt the blaugrana's attacking threats."

Beyond the intangibles, the young Catalan scored 16 goals and set up 11 more, with no other La Liga player providing as many assists.

Yamal, who has been sidelined with groin problems on multiple occasions this season, is expected to be fit for Spain at the World Cup, which begins next week in Canada, Mexico and the United States.

He missed Barcelona's final six games of the season because of a hamstring injury.

Yamal burst onto the scene at the age of 16 and was a key figure in Spain's record extending fourth European Championship victory in 2024.
