First month of the season in LaLiga EA Sports 2024/25 and, as is customary month by month in this Spanish local tournament, the league seeks to reward the most outstanding players and coaches with the initiative LaLiga Awards or LaLiga Awards. These awards monthly recognize the best coach, the best under-23 player, the best goal, and the best save.

For August, FC Barcelona will have a presence in two categories. In the first one, for the best coach of the month, Hansi Flick is nominated. The team achieved a perfect record in the four matches played this month in LaLiga, defeating Valencia CF (1-2), Athletic Club (2-1), Rayo Vallecano (1-2), and Real Valladolid (7-0), adding an impeccable 12 out of 12 points that positions them as the absolute leader of the local tournament.

Now, in the competition for the award, the German coach will face two prominent coaches: Marcelino García Toral (Villarreal CF) and Luis García Plaza (Deportivo Alavés), whose teams occupy the fourth (with eight points) and sixth place (with seven points) respectively. In addition, they have a record of two victories and two draws (Villarreal CF) and two wins, one draw, and one loss (Deportivo Alavés).
