After enjoying a sensational breakthrough season in 2021/22, Barcelona midfield prodigy continues to collect accolades for his spectacular rise.
The club have officially confirmed that the 18-year-old sensation has won the Aldo Rovira Memorial Award for being the Best Barcelona Player in the 2021/22 campaign.
The Aldo Rovira Trophy is an award handed out to the best player at FC Barcelona for that season and is decided by a jury comprising the board of directors and heads of sport in Catalan media.
The award was first created in 2010, in memory of the son of former Barcelona director, Josep Lluis Rovira, who had passed away in a car accident a year before.
Over the years, some of the greatest players of Barcelona like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Gerard Pique have all been recipients of the award. In fact, Messi won the award as many as six times during his time at the club.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen was handed the prize for the 2019/20 season while Pedri was honoured with the accolade for the 2020/21 campaign.
Now, it is Gavi who has picked up the prestigious Aldo Rovira Memorial Award for his breakthrough performances in the last season.
He has once again followed in the footsteps of Pedri, having won the Raymond Kopa Trophy and the Golden Boy Award for 2022, much like his Barcelona teammate in 2021.
A product of Barcelona’s youth academy, Gavi has gone on to make 77 senior appearances in which he has four goals and 11 assists to his name. He has won the Spanish Super Cup with the Blaugrana this season and will hope to add plenty more trophies to his collection in the years to come.
