Lamine Yamal Sets New La Liga Record With 3 Monthly Awards
Lamine Yamal made history by winning 3 Player of the Month awards in the 2025-26 La Liga season, a feat never achieved by Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Despite injury, he finished with 16 goals and 11 assists, outperforming teammates and confirming his dominance throughout the campaign.
For the La Liga 2025-26 season, Lamine Yamal has created history by becoming the first player ever to win the Player of the Month award 3 times in a single campaign. The Barcelona youngster secured the honors in November, December, and April, achieving a milestone that even legends like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo never reached in one season.
Despite suffering a season-ending injury, Yamal finished with 16 league goals and 11 assists, leading his team in goals and topping the assist charts in the division. His performances have played a key role in Barcelona’s push toward the league title, and he is now a strong contender for the overall Player of the Season award.
Historically, no player had won more than 2 Player of the Month awards in a single La Liga season, with names like Karim Benzema, Jude Bellingham, and Kylian Mbappé achieving that mark. Yamal now has 4 total monthly awards, already surpassing Ronaldo’s tally of 3, though still behind Messi and Antoine Griezmann, who lead the all-time list with 8 each.
