The end of the season is approaching and that sees thoughts turn to acknowledging who have been the best players. LaLiga have announced the candidates for the best team of the season and eight FC Barcelona players are among the list of nominees. Voting for Team of the Season has already begun and is set to end on 11 May.
Four defenders and Pedri
Blaugrana defenders make up a significant percentage of the list nominated, precisely four out of the 10 players. These are Íñigo Martinez, Kounde, Cubarsí, and Balde, Flick's entire starting backline. When it comes to the midfield, Pedri is there representing the blaugranes. The Canary Islander is having an outstanding season, showing his versatility and decisiveness in both defence and attack, particularly as he has made the most ball recoveries across LaLiga this season.
Front three also nominated
The other blaugranes to be nominated for Team of the Season are attackers, accounting for three of the 10 candidates. As could be expected, it is Flick's starting front three for this season – Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and Lewandowski. All three players have a hatful of goals that have helped Barça to the top of LaLiga.
