Lamine Yamal has won the Kopa Trophy for the second consecutive season, showing he is the best talent in world football currently. While it was a win for La Masia as Barcelona Femeni, Vicky Lopez, won the award in the female category.
The Spanish 18-year-old won the award last year after his breakthrough season, continuing the hype from his breakthrough season where he excelled to new lengths this season. In the 2024-2025 season, Yamal was a dominant force in La Liga, tallying 9 goals and 13 assists in 35 appearances. His impressive 22 combined goal contributions were a key factor in Barcelona's title win.
”It’s an honor to be here again. I want to thank Barcelona and the national team. Also, my family. I don’t want to forget my teammates, like Cubarsí and Raphinha, who we can also see here,” said Yamal in his acceptance speech.

On the women’s side, Barcelona Femení are no strangers to silverware, whether collective or individual. This year, both the club and La Masia can take special pride, as it marks the first time Barcelona have claimed a double in the Best Under-21 Player category.
It is also a historic milestone for the Ballon d’Or, with France Football awarding the prize in women’s football for the very first time. The 18-year-old Vicky López has the honor of being its inaugural winner, after a standout season in which she scored nine goals across 37 appearances and played a key role in guiding her team to a domestic treble.
"”Thank you to my family. I dedicate this to my mother, who watches over me from heaven and is protecting me so I can become a better person. I hope you’re proud of me; I miss you,” she said."Vicky Lopez, speaking at the ceremony
Certainly, a congratulations goes to the two superstars and the coaches that have helped and guided the talent into the young superstars we see today.
