Champions, champions, olé, olé, olé!

FC Barcelona has won its 28th Spanish championship title, much to the dismay of Real Madrid. The Blaugranas can no longer be caught by their eternal rivals, the Merengues.

Focus on the key players of this title.

The leaders

Raphinha: The Brazilian had to wait until he was 28 years old to establish himself as a world-class player. Announced to be leaving last summer after a mediocre first season at Barcelona, Raphinha has had the best season of his career and is now a cornerstone of the Catalan project.

Lamine Yamal: In fast-track mode. At 17 years old, the young Spaniard is almost certain to finish in the top 10 of the 2025 Ballon d'Or ranking. He is the perfect counterpart to Raphinha on the left wing of Barça. The question that arises: can Yamal have a career like Messi's? In any case, his potential seems unlimited.

Jules Koundé: The best right-back of the season in Europe? Deprived of his central defender label (despite himself), JK has definitively taken on the role of right-back. His duo with Yamal on the right flank of Barça has been devastating all season. Koundé has improved his crossing quality to the point of specializing in the art of crossing from deep. A steamroller.

Pedri: A full season, thanks in particular to his physical form. Injuries have finally left him alone. He took advantage of this to chain matches and masterclasses. In the shadow of Yamal, Pedri does the behind-the-scenes work to bring verticality to Barça's game. For the love of the penultimate pass.

The revelation

Marc Casadó: One Marc can hide another. Exit Marc Bernal, hello Marc Casadó! Indeed, it was the serious injury of the promising Bernal that allowed Casadó to slip into Barça's starting eleven. Unfortunately, after a good first half of the season, he experienced a slump at the beginning of the year before being sidelined since March (knee injury). A small brake that should not compromise the rest of his promising career at Barcelona.

🇪🇸 Marc Casadó
