Published May 31, 2025
The 2024–25 La Liga campaign delivered one of the most thrilling title battles in recent memory, ending with Barcelona dethroning Real Madrid to claim the championship.
This season marked a breakthrough for football’s emerging stars. Under Hansi Flick’s leadership, a youthful and dynamic Barcelona squad topped the table with 88 points, losing just once in 2025. Real Madrid, packed with talent and featuring a standout debut season from Kylian Mbappé, secured second place.
Beyond the two traditional giants, the league was brimming with standout individual performances. Several lesser-known players reached new career heights — from a dynamic fullback making waves in attack to a veteran midfielder finding new life — deserving recognition alongside big names like Mbappé and Lamine Yamal.
