Joao Cancelo is currently on loan at the Catalan club from Al-Hilal. This season, he has featured in 13 league matches, scoring one goal and providing two assists. His performances have been instrumental in Barcelona's trophy triumph, completing his exceptional collection of accolades.

He had previously celebrated title wins with Juventus in 2019, Bayern Munich in 2023, and twice with Manchester City, who dominated the English league in 2021 and 2022. He also boasts a title from his native Portugal with Benfica Lisbon in 2014.

This marks the end of an incredibly successful season for Joao Cancelo, which also saw Barcelona lift the Spanish Super Cup a few months prior. The team still has away fixtures against Alavés and Valencia, as well as a home game against Betis, remaining on their schedule.
