LaLiga Controversy: Lamine Yamal In, Arda Güler Out
The president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, is a notable figure in Spanish football, often seen scrutinizing Real Madrid, its president, and its players. Recently, LaLiga announced the nominees for its various awards, a decision that has clearly displeased Real Madrid fans.
In the category for Best Young Player, the surprising omission of Arda Güler, one of Spain’s most talented young footballers, has caught everyone’s attention.
The nominees include Lamine Yamal (Barcelona), Javi Guerra (Valencia), Rodrygo (Real Madrid), Couto (Girona FC), Savinho (Girona), Johnny (Real Betis), Cubarsí (Barcelona), Miguel Gutiérrez (Girona), Nico Williams (Athletic Club), and Kubo (Real Sociedad).
Despite Rodrygo Goes making the list, the exclusion of Arda Güler, especially when Lamine Yamal from Barcelona, backed by significant media support, is included, has left many baffled.
In recent weeks, the young Turkish player has showcased his exceptional talent, making it difficult to understand why he wasn’t nominated for LaLiga’s Best Young Player award.
