Honors for Kylian Mbappé. Author of 26 goals in 30 matches before the last day, this Sunday, and the driving force behind a Parisian team that has sometimes (often) coughed collectively during the season, the 22-year-old world champion was voted best player of the French championship by his peers within the framework of the UNFP Trophies. The news had already leaked in recent days, it is now confirmed. Already rewarded in 2019, Mbappé is ahead of Lille Burak Yimaz, Lyonnais Memphis Depay, Monegasque Wissam Ben Yedder and his teammate in Paris, Neymar Jr. Mbappé therefore succeeds himself, knowing that the UNFP Trophies had been canceled the last year, Covid-19 obliges. He perpetuates the Parisian tradition, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic (2013, 2014, 2016),Edinson Cavani (2017) and Neymar Jr (2018) honored before him in recent years. Only the former Lyonnais Alexandre Lacazette interrupted the hegemony of the capital club in 2015. Mbappé also joined Pedro Miguel Pauleta (2002, 2003) and Eden Hazard (2011, 2012) with his two trophies. Only one player has been named the best player in Ligue 1 three times, “Ibra”. Remember that the trophy in question has existed since 1994.
