Barcelona left Paris with four major awards. Aitana Bonmatí won a third straight Ballon d’Or. Lamine Yamal finished second in the men’s Ballon d’Or and retained the Kopa Trophy. Vicky López won the first women’s Kopa Trophy. Ewa Pajor received the Gerd Müller Trophy for top women’s scorer. Barcelona’s Ballon d’Or total reached 20 with 13 from La Masia, and the ballot also placed Raphinha fifth, Pedri 11th, and Robert Lewandowski 17th.
Aitana Ballon d’Or
Aitana has won the Ballon d’Or for the third time. More important is what it says about the team around her. Barcelona’s women keep leading the way, domestically and in Europe.
Lamine and Vicky Kopa Trophy
Lamine is 18 and already a two-time Kopa winner, no one had done that before. Finishing second in the Ballon d’Or at his age shows how talented he is. Vicky López opened the women’s Kopa honors with a win at 19.
Kopa dominance
Since the Kopa Trophy began in 2018, Barcelona have five of the eight across the men’s and women’s lists. Pedri won in 2021. Gavi in 2022. Lamine in 2024 and 2025. Vicky in 2025. This is consistent output from the academy to the first team.
