Back to the sender for this Barça flop
Barcelona has won the Golden Boy several times in recent years, his players having won him three times over the past four years.

And other successes could be there later in 2025.

FC Barcelona players won the Golden Boy four times. Lionel Messi was the first in 2025, followed by Pedri, Gavi and Lamine Yamal in 2021, 2022 and 2024 respectively. The Catalans are the team with the most winners, and this year, their advance could widen.

Pau Cubarsi at the top of the race at the Golden Boy 2025

And at this stage, this should be the case, because MD has announced that Pau Cubarsi is the favorite to win the Golden Boy 2025. Tuttosport published its Golden Boy ranking at this stage of the year 2025, and Lamine Yamal occupies the first place. But as he won the prize last year, he is not eligible to win him again. And as Cubarsi is second, he is now favorite.

Lamine Yamal and Cubarsi are the only current Liga players to be included in the top 10, even if Dean Huijsen (6th) will soon join Real Madrid. Desire Doue, from Paris Saint-Germain, currently occupies 3rd place, ahead of Myles Lewis-Skelly, Warren Zaire-Emery, Huijsen, Kenan Yildiz, Ethan Nwaneri, Geovanni Quenda and Jorrel Hato.

Random of Doué?

Despite this, Cubarsi may be exceeded before the award ceremony later in the year. Doue has options to progress thanks to its participation in the Champions League final this weekend, and its participation in the Club World Cup this summer.

On the other hand, the defender of Barcelona will not see his only possible appearances occurring during the final of the League of UEFA nations – and even in this case, he is not guaranteed to be the holder for the Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente.
