Once again, FC Barcelona has stood out among the nominations in several categories for the monthly awards given by LaLiga EA Sports, awards that recognize the performance of various talents in different areas. It is worth noting that in the October awards, Barça players took home three accolades: the best player of the month, Robert Lewandowski; the best U23 player, Pedri González; and the best coach, Hansi Flick.
Now, for the month of November, Barcelona will be represented in two categories: Player of the Month, with Dani Olmo, and Best U23 Player, with Marc Casadó. Both will face a competition that, at first glance, does not seem to be the easiest, but they have good chances of winning the award.
Who will Dani Olmo compete against for the Player of the Month award in LaLiga for November?
Speaking of the Player of the Month, Dani Olmo has entered this contest after a month in which, in the two matches played so far by the Barça team against RCD Espanyol (3-1) and Real Sociedad (1-0), he managed to score two decisive goals for the victory against the 'perico' team. It remains to be seen what he can achieve in the two remaining matches this month, one against Celta de Vigo on November 23 at Balaídos and then against UD Las Palmas on the 30th in Montjuïc.
In this competition, Dani Olmo will compete against other standout players such as Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr. (three goals in one match), Real Sociedad right winger Take Kubo (one goal in two matches), Girona right-back Arnau Martínez (one goal in two matches), and Atlético Madrid center forward Giuliano Simeone (one goal and one assist in two matches).
Who will Marc Casadó compete against for the Best U23 Player award in LaLiga for November?
On the other hand, Marc Casadó has been nominated after playing matches against RCD Espanyol, where he provided an assist and played 56 minutes, and against Real Sociedad, where he played the full 90 minutes. He will be looking to see what he can achieve in the matches against Celta de Vigo and UD Las Palmas. The player from Sant Pere de Vilamajor has made a very good impression this month and throughout the season with Barcelona, establishing himself as a true 'leader' in the midfield.
Casadó will compete against four other talents from LaLiga EA Sports: Fábio Silva, forward of UD Las Palmas (one goal in two matches), a 'familiar face' from Barcelona, Vitor Roque, who now plays for Real Betis (one goal in two matches), midfielder Luka Sučić from Real Sociedad (one assist in two matches), and defender Javi Rodríguez from Celta de Vigo (one goal in two matches).
