The Memorial Aldo Rovira Award (Catalan: Premi Memorial Aldo Rovira) is a trophy awarded by FC Barcelona to its best players (men's and women's football team) of the season and it is decided by a jury composed of board of directors and heads of sport in Catalan media. The award was created in 2010 in memory of the son of former FC Barcelona director, Josep Lluis Rovira, who died in a car/traffic accident one year earlier.[1]
Lionel Messi won the inaugural prize for the season held in 2009–10 and he has also won the award on a record six occasions.[2][3][4]
