The 2020/21 Copa del Rey became the first trophy in their Barcelona career for as many as 15 players. Those players are: Sergino Dest, Ronald Araujo, Antoine Griezmann, Miralem Pjanic, Martin Braithwaite, Neto, Pedri, Francisco Trincao, Matheus Fernandes, Frenkie de Jong, Ansu Fati, Junior Firpo, Ilaix Moriba, Oscar Mingueza, and Arnau Tenas.
Moriba, Mingueza and Tenas are formally Barcelona B player, but because they played in the competition (or were at least called up for some of the matches, like Arnau), this counts as a trophy won for the first team.
The strangest cases is that of Matheus, though, as he didn't play a single minute in this edition of the Copa despite being fit.
It should also be noted that Riqui Puig and Inaki Pena had already won a trophy with Barca, the 2018/19 La Liga, to be exact. However, they were both reserve players at that time.
