"Pedri also earns his deserved place among the nominees. The midfielder was the heartbeat of Barcelona's treble-winning campaign, delivering six goals and nine assists across 59 appearances. Beyond the statistics, Pedri's intelligence, passing precision, and leadership were instrumental to the team's success. What about Raphinha and Yamal? Meanwhile, Raphinha enjoyed arguably the best season of his career. The Brazilian winger was directly involved in 57 goals - 34 scored and 23 assisted - an extraordinary tally that cements his place among Europe's most decisive attackers."
"Leading the defensive nominations is Pau Cubarsi, who became a pillar in Hansi Flick's system. He played a total of 56 matches, contributing one goal and four assists despite his centre-back role. The defender was also nominated for both the Kopa Trophy and the Golden Boy, further highlighting his rapid rise.
