Official: Five Barcelona stars included in La Liga Team of the Season for 2022/23

With the 2022/23 La Liga campaign in the final stages, the league has announced the Team of the Season and as many as five Barcelona stars have made the cut.

The Blaugrana were crowned champions of the Spanish top flight last weekend after they defeated RCD Espanyol 4-2 away from home. Xavi Hernandez & co. will be presented with the La Liga trophy tomorrow after the match against Real Sociedad at Spotify Camp Nou.

Now, La Liga has unveiled the team of the season for the 2022/23 campaign and five Barcelona players have been included.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen leads the way which is not surprising at all considering the exceptional campaign that the German international has enjoyed between the sticks for Barcelona, breaking all sorts of records.

Youngster Alejandro Balde and summer signing Jules Kounde also make it to the La Liga TOTS 2022/23, having enjoyed impressive campaigns for the league champions.

Balde has had a breakthrough season which saw him replace Jordi Alba as the first-choice left-back at Barça. Kounde, meanwhile, has grown into an important player for Xavi’s side in his debut season, impressing as a makeshift right-back.

Midfield prodigy Pedri is also named in the Team of the Season after having played an influential role in the Catalans’ title triumph. The last Barcelona player to make it is Robert Lewandowski, who is the leading goalscorer in the competition this season.

Surprisingly, though, there is no place for Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Frenkie de Jong, and Gavi, all of whom have enjoyed impressive seasons.

Interestingly, five Real Madrid players have also made the cut, despite their relatively poor campaign in La Liga.
