Madrid – Saba:

La Liga announced on Friday that Brazilian Rafinha, a Barcelona player, won the La Liga Player of the Year Award for the 2024-25 season, after leading the Blaugrana to their 28th league title.

Rafinha beat out teammates Lamine Yamal, Pedri, and Robert Lewandowski in the final vote, as well as Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Junior, and Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Isco (Real Betis), and Oyhan Sancet (Athletic Bilbao).

The Catalan club had a fantastic season, and Rafinha played a key role in German coach Hansi Flick's team's success in reclaiming the league title from arch-rivals Real Madrid. He contributed 27 goals, scoring 18 and providing nine assists.

The 28-year-old, who joined Barcelona in the 2022 season from Leeds United, finished sixth in the competition's top scorer list, which was edged out by Frenchman Kylian Mbappé with 31 goals.

Barcelona, who won the domestic treble of La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup, dominated the league's awards, with Hansi Flick winning the Best Coach award and Lamine Yamal winning the Best Young Player award earlier this month.
