Live stream (9pm): Will Thibaut Courtois win trophies in ‘FIFA The Best’? The Spanish press sees the sign of criticism | soccer

Tuxedos can be taken out of the closet again. Tonight, FIFA will host the “The Best” awards ceremony in Paris. The guest list naturally includes several players from Champions League winners Real Madrid. Such as Thibaut Courtois, Karim Benzema and Carlo Ancelotti.

Only: According to informed Spanish media, nominees for the monarchy will not travel to France. Officially because the important cup match against Barcelona is already on the program on Thursday. However, other motives may also play a role. At Real Madrid they know that no one will win the big prize soon.

Perhaps it will be a great Argentinian party in Paris with Lionel Messi (Best Player), Lionel Scaloni (Best Coach) and Emiliano Martinez (Best Goalkeeper) as nominees. But did the latter really have a better season than Courtois? At the club level, the Aston Villa goalkeeper did not reach the level of the Red Devil, but he made the difference for his country in the World Cup.

Was this the deciding factor for the voters (coaches, captains, journalists and fans)? The third candidate is Yassine Bounou, the Seville goalkeeper and the Moroccan star in the World Cup.
