Leo Messi, Wayne Rooney, Kylian Mbappé or even the madridista Isco Alarcón in his day won this prize. In the 2020, the victorious could not be another that Erling Haaland, that arrasó to all his competitors.

But this campaign the Norwegian no longer is between the candidates and the favourite to carry it is a player of the FC Barcelona. Pedri Rodríguez​ is between the 40 candidates to heave it and the culé is for the experts of the newspaper the best planted of all to carry it.
