Player of the Year:
In a trophy-laden year with the capital side, Dembélé has again been the difference for Luis Enrique's side. Winning his second straight award, despite struggling with fitness in the season's first half, is testament to his evolution under the Spaniard, becoming a true global star.
Best Player of the Season.
