Lamine Yamal Named La Liga U23 Player of the Season After Stellar Campaign with Barcelona
Barcelona’s 16-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal has been named La Liga’s Best U23 Player for the 2024/25 season after a stunning breakthrough campaign.
With 9 goals and 13 assists, Yamal led the league in assists and helped power Barça to the title, earning widespread praise.
Barcelona’s rising superstar Lamine Yamal has been crowned the La Liga Best U23 Player of the 2024/25 Season, adds another feather to his cap after a phenomenal breakthrough year.
This prestigious award follows closely on the heels of Hansi Flick being named La Liga’s Best Coach, cementing Barcelona’s dominance both on the touchline and on the pitch.
At just 16 years old, Yamal has captivated fans with his breathtaking performances and maturity beyond his years. His nine goals and 13 assists not only helped Barcelona reclaim the La Liga title but also made him the league’s top assist provider, a rare feat for such a young player.
Throughout the season, the La Masia graduate consistently delivered match-winning performances. He won the La Liga U23 Player of the Month award in both August and February, tying for the most wins in that category with Fabio Silva of Las Palmas. His stellar September form also earned him the La Liga Player of the Month, a historic achievement for a player his age.
Yamal beat out strong competition to claim this end-of-season honour, including names like Jude Bellingham and Arda Güler (Real Madrid), Diego López (Valencia), Pedri (Barcelona), Alberto Moleiro (Las Palmas), and Fabio Silva himself.
The young Spaniard’s composure, vision, and creativity have drawn comparisons to legendary playmakers and established him as one of the most exciting talents in world football. Whether cutting inside from the wing, threading precise passes, or scoring crucial goals, Yamal has been at the heart of Barcelona’s attacking threat all season.
As Barcelona celebrates its league triumph and looks toward a new era under Hansi Flick, Yamal’s emergence offers a glimpse into a bright future built around homegrown excellence.
Congratulations to Lamine Yamal, La Liga’s Best U23 Star of 2024/25!
