Despite limited playing time in Ligue 1 this season, but statistics of 10 goals and 6 assists in 19 matches, Ousmane Dembélé is the favorite for the UNFP Trophy for best player in Ligue 1. The reigning Ballon d’Or could achieve a double at the UNFP Trophies by ahead of his teammates Nuno Mendes and Vitinha as well as Florian Thauvin and Mason Greenwood, who complete the list of five nominees (this is, to be precise, the top 5 after the players’ vote).
Dembélé will be in the race for another award during the ceremony on Monday May 11 (on Ligue 1+ and its YouTube channel) since he is nominated for the Just Fontaine Trophy for the best goal, for his genius ladle from Ousmane Dembélé during a PSG-Losc.
Two PSG players named
Another Parisian goal is selected: Joao Neves’ return during a PSG match in Toulouse.
Also named are Rennes winger Mousa Al-Tamari and his exceptional volley against OL last weekend, the sumptuous lob by Monegasque Folarin Balogun against OM, the missile sent by Brest midfielder Hugo Magnetti in Strasbourg and Matthieu Udol’s superb acrobatic volley on a cross from Abdallah Sima in front of the RC Lens crowd against Angers.
