And there are plenty of surprises: among the candidates are Antonio Conte, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Kenan Yildiz, and even Yann Sommer, while the notable exclusion of Simone Inzaghi is striking, despite reaching the Champions League final with Inter.


🧤 Yashin Trophy: Donnarumma king of the posts?

The favorite for the Yashin Trophy is clearly Gianluigi Donnarumma, the undisputed star of the season with PSG.

But there are some illustrious names on the list:

  • Gianluigi Donnarumma (PSG)
  • David Raya (Arsenal)
  • Yann Sommer (Inter)
  • Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid)
  • Jan Oblak (Atletico Madrid)
  • Matz Sels (Nottingham Forest)
  • Emiliano MartĂ­nez (Aston Villa)
  • Lucas Chevalier (Lille)
  • Yassine Bono (Al Hilal)
  • Alisson Becker (Liverpool)

👨‍🏫 Cruijff Trophy: Conte in, Inzaghi out!

The award for best coach features a top 5 of the highest level. Italy’s champion coach Antonio Conte is present.

  • Luis Enrique (PSG): Champions League winner and Club World Cup finalist
  • Antonio Conte (Napoli): Serie A winner
  • Enzo Maresca (Chelsea): Conference League and Club World Cup winner
  • Arne Slot (Liverpool): Premier League winner
  • Hansi Flick (Barcelona): domestic treble (La Liga, Copa del Rey, Supercopa)

Inzaghi’s absence is making noise, especially after Inter’s European campaign that led to the final in Munich, lost to PSG.
