This year’s Globe Soccer Awards was a real benefit for Catalan Barcelona.

The most expected and at the same time pleasant news for the fans was the prize for the best player of the year in La Liga, which was awarded to Rafinha. The Brazilian, who over the past year has gone from the object of criticism to the captain and undisputed leader of the team, has finally received official recognition for his incredible progress.

His contribution to Barca’s performance and phenomenal performance on the pitch made him a key figure in Hansi Flick’s system. Football fans have already had time to react to this news on social networks, noting that at least somewhere they have not forgotten about the Brazilian top.

In addition to Rafinha, two more representatives of Barcelona triumphed.

Hans-Dieter Flick was recognized as the best coach: the German specialist, who in just a few months turned Barcelona into the most productive team in Europe, deservedly surpassed the competition. His bold tactics with a high defensive line became the main trend of the Spanish championship.

Lamine Yamal became the best young football player: the 18-year-old prodigy continues to collect all possible awards in his age category. His victory at the Globe Soccer Awards was further confirmation that he is the most promising player on the planet right now
