Author of four goals at the start of December, Pierre-Émerick Aubameyang won the UNFP Trophy for best player of the month in Ligue 1, depriving Kylian Mbappé of a hat-trick and ahead of his friend Alexandre Lacazette.
Already rewarded in October and November, Kylian Mbappé hoped to achieve the hat-trick in the UNFP Trophy for best player of the month in Ligue 1, by being nominated for the month of December with two scorers who woke up at the end of last year, Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. However, it was the Gabonese international from OM who won, as the UNFP revealed on Tuesday afternoon.
“PEA” caught fire at the start of December, with four goals scored in three league matches, on the heels of a hat-trick in the Europa League, but, since then, the 34-year-old striker has been catastrophic at the start of the season , fell into line again. He was ghostly during the draw against Strasbourg (1-1) last Friday.
Mbappé and Lacazette started the year again by scoring last weekend.
It’s more Pierre-Emerick, it’s Pierre “Il Mérite” Aubameyang outright! 🤯
