Official: Barcelona trio win La Liga awards for the month of April | OneFootball

The month of April has been a very good one for FC Barcelona when it comes to La Liga, as they are firmly on track to win the title.

Three league games so far this month have resulted in three victories for the Blaugrana as they first defeated Atletico Madrid 2-1 before thrashing local rivals RCD Espanyol 4-1, which was followed by a 1-0 win over Celta Vigo.

Given their successful run, Barça had as many as four nominees for the La Liga awards for April – Hansi Flick for the Coach of the Month, Lamine Yamal for the Player of the Month, Pau Cubarsi for the U23 Player of the Month, and Marcus Rashford for the Goal of the Month.

And, three of these four contenders have ended up victorious as Lamine, Cubarsi, and Rashford triumphed in their respective categories.

Lamine was enjoying a brilliant run of form before an injury against Celta brought a premature end to his season. The 18-year-old racked up two goals and two assists in the three league games in April, leading to him being voted the Player of the Month.

As for Cubarsi, the 19-year-old centre-back has established himself as one of the best centre-backs in La Liga despite his age. He has been delivering top performances of late, with the one against Celta earlier this week standing out in particular.

So, he was more than deserving of being voted the La Liga U23 Player of the Month for April.

As for Rashford, his brilliant volleyed strike against Espanyol has been voted as the Goal of the Month, capping off an impressive run in the awards for Barcelona.

Hansi Flick, however, lost out to RCD Mallorca manager Martin Demichelis in the Coach of the Month category.
