LaLiga has announced its award winners for September as part of the “LaLiga Awards, The pride of our fútbol” initiative, organized in collaboration with the Globe Soccer Awards.
Celebrating standout performances across five categories, these awards recognize the best player, coach, goal, save, and under-23 player for the month. The winners include some familiar faces and emerging talents, showcasing the excitement and talent LaLiga brings to the pitch every week.
Best Player of the Month: Lamine Yamal (FC Barcelona)
The young sensation Lamine Yamal has claimed the Best Player award for September, an accolade he richly deserves after an outstanding run of form with FC Barcelona.
At just 17 years old, Yamal has already become a crucial figure for his team. He recorded four goals and five assists across nine matches, demonstrating his ability to influence the game both as a goal scorer and playmaker.
Yamal’s impact is undeniable; in fact, the only game Barcelona lost in September was when he wasn’t a starter. Even then, he made his presence felt by scoring as a substitute.
His incredible assist in Barcelona’s 5-1 victory against Villarreal on Matchday 6 was another example of his vision and technical ability. Yamal’s rapid rise and consistent performances have rightly earned him the spotlight.
Best Under-23 Player: Alberto Moleiro (UD Las Palmas)
Alberto Moleiro has been recognized as the Best Under-23 Player for September, continuing the trend of young talents making their mark in LaLiga EA SPORTS.
Moleiro’s performances stood out, even though UD Las Palmas had a challenging month, failing to secure a win in five fixtures. Moleiro managed to find the net in matches against CA Osasuna and Real Betis, showing his ability to perform under pressure.
The competition for this award was fierce, with players like Enzo Boyomo (CA Osasuna), Marc Casadó (FC Barcelona), and Hugo Álvarez (RC Celta) also in the running. However, Moleiro’s consistency and skill on the ball helped him edge out the competition, proving that he is one of the brightest young prospects in LaLiga.

Best Coach: Ernesto Valverde (Athletic Club)
Ernesto Valverde’s tactical brilliance with Athletic Club has earned him the Best Coach award for September. Under his guidance, Athletic Club enjoyed a successful month, securing three victories against UD Las Palmas, CD Leganés, and RC Celta, and drawing against Sevilla FC. This unbeaten run pushed Athletic Club to sixth place in the standings with 14 points.
Valverde’s ability to get the best out of his squad, even in tight matches, sets him apart. His strategic approach and experience have rejuvenated Athletic Club’s season, making them a team to watch in the league.
Valverde surpassed other esteemed coaches like Hansi Flick (FC Barcelona) and Carlo Ancelotti (Real Madrid) to claim this honor, marking his first individual award of the season.
Best Goal of the Month: Abdul Mumin (Rayo Vallecano)
Abdul Mumin’s stunning goal for Rayo Vallecano has been named the Best Goal of September in LaLiga EA SPORTS. Mumin’s long-range strike against CA Osasuna was not only a beauty to watch but also a crucial equalizer in a match that Rayo went on to win 3-1.
His powerful shot from outside the box left the goalkeeper with no chance, highlighting his technical ability and confidence.
The Ghanaian defender’s goal edged out impressive strikes from Raúl García de Haro (CA Osasuna) and Sandro (UD Las Palmas) in the final vote.
Mumin’s exceptional performance has not only helped his team but also brought recognition to defenders, who often don’t get the credit they deserve for their attacking contributions.
Best Save of the Month: Marko Dmitrović (CD Leganés)
Marko Dmitrović of CD Leganés took home the Best Save award for his incredible stop against Getafe CF. In a tense 1-1 draw, Dmitrović’s quick reflexes were on full display when he blocked an overhead kick from Mauro Arambarri. His intervention kept the scoreline level, proving to be a turning point in the match.
The Serbian goalkeeper’s save was chosen over impressive stops from David Soria (Getafe CF) and Sergio Herrera (CA Osasuna). Dmitrović’s ability to perform under pressure and make crucial saves highlights his importance to CD Leganés’ defensive setup. This award marks his first recognition of the season, and it’s a testament to his skill between the posts.
