The La Liga Awards, previously known as the LFP awards, are presented annually by the Liga de Fútbol Profesional (LFP) to the best players and coach in La Liga, the first division of association football in Spain.
Established in the 2008–09 season, they were the first official awards in the history of the Spanish competition.
[1] La Liga's best coach and player in each position—goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, and forward—were chosen based on a voting by the captain and vice-captains of each club, while the best player overall was determined via statistical analysis.
[2] Since the La Liga Awards' creation, Barcelona players have won 32 honours in the six main categories, almost triple the number of any other club.
Barcelona's forward Lionel Messi has been named La Liga's best player for six times and La Liga's best forward for seven times, both all-time records.
