🌟 @KMbappe
🌟 @isco_alarcon
🌟 Marcos Alonso
🌟 Umar Sadiq
🌟 Pedro Díaz#LALIGAPOTM | @EASPORTSFC#PREMIOSLALIGA
Celta Vigo’s Marcos Alonso, Valencia’s Sadiq and Rayo Vallecano’s Pedro Diaz are other respective nominees for March’s POTM award.
Sadiq has been in excellent form this month, with three goals scored this month whereas Diaz, too, has scored in back to back matches.
However, the fight might trickle down to Mbappe and Isco. It won’t be surprising to see Isco edging out Mbappe given his influential performances for Real Betis this month.
It must be noted that Isco played a key role in helping Real Betis get the better of Mbappe’s Real Madrid at the start of the month.
