In view of the nominees in the different categories of the UNFP 2024-2025 UNFP Trophies, the list was rather expected. This Sunday at the Gabriel pavilion, in Paris, the Ousmane Dembélé (best L1 player), Désiré Doué (best hope), Luis Enrique (best coach) or Lucas Chevalier (best goalkeeper) well received the awards they could legitimately aspire. At the whim of a ceremony which, however, was cruelly missed by originality.
Many Internet users have indignant on the web indeed to discover the list. And especially when reading a monochrome type team. Nine Parisians, a Lille and a Lyonnais, such is the composition of the best eleven of the season according to the votes of the various actors of Ligue 1 – players and coaches – surveyed for the occasion by the Unfp union.
In this little game of the vote carried out in each Ligue 1 locker room with secret bulletin, only Lille Lucas Chevalier and Lyonnais Rayan Cherki therefore broke the exclusive hegemony of the overwhelming Parisian champion, which for his part has as an ambassadors the Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes, Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha, Joao Neves, Désiré, Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé.
UNFP trophies, too many forgotten
You only have to observe the comments under the publication by the UNFP Sunday evening of the list of lucky elected officials to realize the gap which can exist between voters and the general public. The most teasing thus note the absence of Gianluigi Donnarumma, Fabian Ruiz or Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in this eleven type 2024-2025.
Many Internet users to emphasize the glaring lack of Marseille or Monegasque elements despite the second and third places occupied by OM and ASM. Among the most cited forgotten, the Phocaeans Adrien Rabiot and Mason Greenwood, the men of the rock that are Maghnes Akliouche and Denis Zakaria, the Lillois Bafodé Diakité, the Strasbourgeois Andrey Santos or the Lyonnais Corentin Tolisso.
