Barcelona hopes to strengthen its historical position as one of the clubs that have produced the most players who have won the Best Player award at the World Cup, through the young duo Lamine Yamal and Pedri in the 2026 World Cup edition.
The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" reported that Lamine Yamal, the 18-year-old Barcelona player, is considered one of the top contenders for the best player award in the tournament, alongside his teammate Pedri, who is ranked as one of the most important midfielders in the world.
The newspaper added that Barcelona has previously seen several of its legends win this award while representing the club, most notably Johan Cruyff in the 1974 World Cup, Romário in 1994, and Lionel Messi in 2014, which enhances the club's presence in the history of the award.
The same source pointed out that Barcelona shares this record with Juventus in terms of the number of players who have won the award while playing for the club, with the Italian club featuring names like Paolo Rossi, Salvatore, and Zinedine Zidane.
Barcelona hopes that one of its current players, Lamine Yamal or Pedri, will succeed in winning the title of the best player in the 2026 World Cup, to continue enhancing the club's historical legacy in global tournaments.
