Ligue 1 – September’s player of the month revealed! | OneFootball

Each month, the UNFP organizes the election for the best player in Ligue 1. For September 2025, one Paris Saint-Germain player was a finalist. The competition was between Florian Thauvin (32-year-old forward from FC Lens), Romain Del Castillo (29-year-old midfielder from Brest), and Vitinha (25-year-old midfielder from PSG). It was Thauvin who came out on top.

This is the supporters’ choice; it’s hard to oppose it and it’s never surprising to see a forward win. There is still the feeling that media hype may have played a role here, with ultimately “only” 1 goal and no assists in September, while Vitinha has 3 assists and Del Castillo has accumulated 3 goals and 2 assists.

Statistics aren’t everything, as we regularly point out. But Vitinha’s influence on the game is hard to match, and Del Castillo is invaluable to Brest. Still, it should be noted that Thauvin also greatly helped Lens. In any case, it’s just an honorary trophy and there’s no “theft” in the votes. But it’s understandable that some people protest on social media.
