Pedri and Claudia Pina receive the 2025 Barça Players Award

Pedri González and Claudia Pina have been honored with the Premi Barça Jugadors, an award that the Association of Players of Fútbol Club Barcelona grants annually to those footballers who best represent the club's values on and off the field. The award recognizes fair play, respect, and commitment to the institution and society.

The award ceremony took place at Barça's Sports City and was attended by the president of the Agrupació, Juan Manuel Asensi, and the club director Josep Ignasi Macià, who were in charge of presenting the awards. A sober ceremony, yet full of symbolism, that highlights an aspect of football that goes beyond goals and titles.

An award that recognizes the values that define Barça

The Barça Players' Award does not distinguish figures or statistics, but rather attitudes. The Association values aspects such as commitment to the club, respect for referees, rival fans, and professional colleagues, as well as exemplary conduct on and off the field. It is the former Barça players themselves who, through a vote, choose the award recipients at the end of each season.

In this context, the selection of Pedri and Claudia Pina reinforces the idea that Barça continues to bet on sporting figures who embody its historical identity. Both players have stood out not only for their performance but also for a constant attitude of respect, humility, and professionalism.

Pedri, a consolidated leader on and off the field

For **Pedri González**, this recognition is not new. The Canarian midfielder already received the award in the 2022 edition, which highlights the consistency of his performance over the past few seasons. His quiet leadership, his competitive spirit, and his relationship with referees and rivals have made him an example for the fans and the locker room.

Beyond his footballing talent, Pedri represents a way of understanding the game aligned with the historical values of the Barça club. His repeated selection by the Agrupació reinforces his status as one of the moral pillars of Barça's current sporting project.

Claudia Pina, recognition for an exemplary career

In the case of Claudia Pina, the Premi Barça Jugadors represents an unprecedented recognition. It is the first time the forward has received this distinction, an award that comes after several seasons of being a benchmark for Barça Femenino due to both her performance and her conduct.

The footballer symbolizes the growth and consolidation of women's football within the club's structure. Her election highlights the role of the players as ambassadors of Barça's values and reinforces equal recognition between the men's and women's sections.

A distinction with history within the Barça club

The Barça Players Award was established in 2010 by the Players' Association, and the first footballer to receive it was Bojan Krkic. Since then, the award has become an internal benchmark for highlighting exemplary behavior that reinforces the club's identity.

Also present at the event were historic representatives of Barcelonismo such as Rafael Zuviría, Antonio Olmo, former goalkeeper Cristina Molina, and Carme Nieto, one of the pioneers of women's football at Barça. A presence that underscores the connection between the club's past, present, and future.

With this recognition for Pedri and Claudia Pina, FC Barcelona once again focuses on what has always distinguished the club: competing at the highest level without renouncing the values that have built its history.
