Blaise Matuidi Player Career Award
Awarded by: Mohammed Najeeb Al Awadi - head of Abu Dhabi Sports Channel
A World Cup champion who was also a champion of France and Italy, and a European finalist in 2016 with his national team in preparation for the triumph of Russia in 2018.
An Angolan from Toulouse, now a Juventino and an inveterate winner. He never loses, whether it’s at club or national level. He just plays and wins. Titles and cups in France, titles and cups in Italy. Then along comes Deschamps and he also wins with the national team: a truly outstanding interpreter of football.
