Benzema, the only LaLiga footballer nominated for Best – News Block

Karim Benzema is the only footballer to represent La Liga at the FIFA The Best awards, although Cholo Simeone is nominated for best coach.

Benzema puts pressure on the Ballon d’Or. They filter a list with the results of the Ballon d’Or.

FIFA has released the list of candidates who will compete for The Best awards to be held on January 17 via online. That day the winners of the prestigious award will be announced and the public will be able to vote for their favorites until December 10. In addition, the body has nominated more footballers than usual.

Among the candidates to win The Best award for best soccer player, we only find Karim Benzema as the only representative on the list. Of course, there are old acquaintances like Leo Messi, Neymar or Cristiano Ronaldo and great goalscorers for Real Madrid like Kylian Mbappé or Erling Haaland. The usual Lewandowski, Salah and company have not been missing either.

Among the nominees for best goalkeeper there is none from the League, but on the benches, Cholo Simeone, who won the championship with Atlético, is among the candidates. The Spanish Pep Guardiola is also nominated for The Best award for best coach.

As for women’s football, Barcelona takes a large part of the nominations. The culés put four players in the candidate of The Best to the FIFA footballer. The presence of the culé coach, Lluís Cortés, and Hedvig Lindahl, from Atlético and candidate for best goalkeeper of the year, is also notable.
