The sports journalist, Omar Ruiz de Somocurcio, spoke out after the Professional Football Player Association of Ligue 1 in France announced its list of candidates for the best player of the season award, which - as expected - is led by Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé.

Through the official TikTok account of Panamericana Televisión, also host of "Teledeportes," he stated that in his opinion, the Frenchman should be the one to win the award for the best football player of the tournament in that country.

"Who is the best player in the French league if we only separate Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi, both stars of Paris Saint-Germain? For me, without a doubt, in terms of performance throughout the season, it is Kylian Mbappé, but that vote is not yet known," he said.

Best French player abroad

It should be noted that among the awards to be presented, the one for the best French player abroad is also outstanding, with the favorite to win it being Real Madrid's forward, Karim Benzema, who already won this distinction last season.
