Lamine Yamal scooped Player of the Season after a stellar 2025-26 campaign for Barcelona, posting 24 goals and 11 assists across all competitions. At 18, he outperformed both Messi and Ronaldo at the same age, carrying the league champions through injury and pressure while rival analysts scrambled for answers.

Barcelona retained their title under Hansi Flick, leaving Real Madrid without a major trophy for a second straight season after Xabi Alonso's mid-campaign dismissal. Nico Williams claimed Goal of the Season for his genius piece against Levante, while Williot Swedberg earned Best Single Game honors for dismantling Madrid in a 2-0 Bernabéu win.

Víctor Muñoz won Rookie of the Season with six goals and four assists for Osasuna, a former Barcelona and Real Madrid academy product turned revelation. Yamal's award haul cements his place among LaLiga's all-time greats before he turns 19.
