- Joan Garcia secures the Zamora Trophy for the best goalkeeper in La Liga.
- Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres share the Zarra Trophy with 16 goals each.
- Barcelona completed a domestic double despite a final day defeat to Valencia.
- The awards cap a dominant campaign under manager Hansi Flick.
Barcelona ended their 2025-26 campaign with a 3-1 loss away to Valencia on Saturday. The result carried little weight, however, as Hansi Flick’s side had already secured a domestic double.
The Catalan giants claimed both the La Liga title and the Spanish Super Cup this term. Flick has overseen a period of domestic dominance since arriving at the club two years ago.
Three Barcelona stars have now received individual recognition for their performances. Goalkeeper Joan Garcia has won the prestigious Zamora Trophy. The award goes to the keeper with the lowest goals-per-game ratio in the league.
Garcia conceded just 21 goals in 30 matches, averaging 0.7 per game. He sat out the defeat to Valencia, but his record was already superior to Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois, who finished with an average of 0.88.
Meanwhile, attackers Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres will share the Zarra Trophy. This honour goes to the top-scoring Spanish player in La Liga. Both men found the net 16 times this season.
They sit one goal clear of Mikel Oyarzabal of Real Sociedad. The award is not yet fully confirmed. Villarreal’s Alberto Moleiro could still catch them if he scores seven or more goals against Atletico Madrid on Sunday.
All three Barcelona players now hope to feature at the 2026 World Cup in North America. Yamal and Torres are certain picks for Luis de la Fuente’s Spain squad. Garcia faces a battle with Real Sociedad’s Alex Remiro for the third goalkeeper position behind Unai Simon and David Raya.
