Several FC Barcelona players had a memorable 2026. The Blaugrana team won the La Liga and the Copa del Rey titles for the 2025-26 season, and up to eight of these players also went on to win the World Cup 2026 with Spain during the summer.
Some of these players also went on to have excellent seasons on an individual level as well. This is particularly the case with Lamine Yamal, who went on to stand third in the Ballon d’Or ranking and won the Kopa award for this year. Meanwhile, the center-back [Pau Cubarsi was selected as the winner of the Golden Boy award for this year](https://barcanewsnetwork.com/barcelona-defender-pau-cubarsi-wins-prestigious-golden-boy-award/).
Now, these players’ incredible seasons have also been recognized at another level. As [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20261109/1004249144/cubarsi-lamine-once-ideal-fifpro-2026.html) has reported, Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi have been named in the FIFPro World 11. Another Barcelona player is present on this list, i.e., the midfielder Rodri Hernandez, even though he spent the last season playing for Manchester City.
Another player in the list that Blaugrana fans will be very happy to see is Lionel Messi, who once again led his Argentina national team to the World Cup final.
Along with these three Spanish players is also the goalkeeper David Raya, who won the Premier League with Arsenal and also made it to the UCL final, in addition to winning the World Cup.
Three players from the UCL-winning Paris Saint-Germain side have also been named in this list, i.e., Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, and Vitinha. Real Madrid have two players on the list, Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe. The list is completed by the Manchester City star forward Erling Haaland.
Pedri was another Barcelona player who was in consideration for a place in this list, but who has ultimately missed out. Similarly, the Ballon d’Or winner Harry Kane has surprisingly also not made it to the list.
