The best of the season

Around 20,000 FC Barcelona fans voted on the club's website for the best players of the season. The clear winner was the Canarian Pedri, with 6,721 votes, 30.6 percent. In second place they chose Ronald Araújo, with 5,941 votes, 27 percent, and in third position was the goalkeeper Ter Stegen, with 1,588, already very far from the first two, with 7.2 percent of the votes. The fourth was the 17-year-old Gavi, and the fifth, Dembélé. When it comes to choosing the best, the culés followers from all over the world have not punished the heritage. The voting has taken place in the .cat, .es and .fr domains.

Pedri, who has suffered several injuries that have prevented the Blaugrana team from getting better results, already started this past season with the title of Golden Boy and the Kopa Trophy, which are the ones that choose the best young footballer in the world. The midfield player has been one of the best of the FC Barcelona in the last times. Also Araújo, the Uruguayan center-back who has impressed with his defensive solidity in a Barça team that has stayed halfway through everything this year, but has maintained the growth of great young pearls. It is not the case of Ter Stegen, the veteran goalkeeper who has been chosen in third place by fans around the world, although this has not been his best season. The goalkeeper, signed by Zubizarreta, continues to be one of the favorites by the fans.

Gavi has shone this year after Koeman placed him in the first team, coming from the academy. His performances at Barça and the national team have been impressive, managing to score the goal of the youngest player in the red last Sunday against the Czech Republic, an honor that previously fell to Ansu Fati. And in fifth position Ousmane Dembélé has climbed, a highly questioned signing when it was carried out, which this season has been praised by Xavi, who said he could be one of the best in the world in his position, and by President Laporta , who commented that he was “better than Mbappé”.

However, everything indicates that the French winger will not renew with FC Barcelona and will go free to another club. Among the five best of the season it is understood that the new additions are not there, they have played good games, but they arrived in January, and none of the four captains appear, who have not had bad performances throughout the entire campaign but neither have the results accompanied a Barça pending economic levers to sign the reinforcements requested by the coach. At the moment, there is evidence that the best are the youngest and most exciting and the goalkeeper, which helps to indicate where the positions that must be reinforced are.
