France football has released the nominees for their series of prizes, with the highlight of course with the Ballon d'Or, the most prestigious individual prize of football. Spanish football will have a serious presence on the Awards Night.
Five nominees from Real Madrid and Barcelona have already been informed that they are in the race for the Kopa trophy, awarded to the best young player of the year, a prize that has been given to an asterisk of one of those teams for the past four years. La Liga is also a shout for Yachine Award, awarded to the best goalkeeper.
Legend of Atletico Madrid Jan Oblak and Real Madrid icon Thibaut Courtois are both nominated for the price, a well -known situation for both on this point. Courtois is the only LA Liga goalkeeper who once won the prize in 2022, after an excellent campaign in which he led them to the Champions League.
Emiliano Martinez has won the prize for two years in a row, but after winning the prize in 2021, Gianluigi Donnarumma might be the favorite again after the Triumph of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. For Oblak, well -executed, but in the end did not succeed in helping Atletico about the line against Barcelona in La Liga or the Copa del Rey, nor against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Courtois, on the other hand, saw Arsenal five passing him by the next round, and Los Blancos admitted 16 times in El Clasico this year, although Andriy Lunin was in goal for some of those competitions.
In the meantime, Barcelona are represented for the Yashine Award, with goalkeeper Cata Coll in the running. She was in the goal for their run to the final of the Champions League and came with a number of gigantic rescues in the painful path from Spain to the silver medal at Euro 2025. However, with Ann-Katrin Berger and Hannah Hampton who also have headline versions, she will be an outsider and Daphy.
