Paris Saint-Germain honoured at the UNFP 2022 Awards

The 30th edition of the UNFP Football Awards, which took place this Sunday evening at the Pavillon Gabriel, rewarded several members of the Paris Saint-Germain men's and women's team. Kylian Mbappé and Marie-Antoinette Katoto, both top scorers in their respective leagues, were named best player of the 2021-2022 season.

Kylian Mbappé – Player of the Season

Kylian Mbappé won the Ligue 1's  player of the season award for the third consecutive time,  never seen so far. In what has been an exceptional season, the Parisian striker has scored 25 goals and provided 19 assists in 34 Ligue 1 matches. Already voted best young player in Ligue 1 on three occasions (2016-2017, 2017-2018 and 2018-2019), Kylian Mbappé can become the first player to achieve the feat of being the top goalscorer and top assister in the French league in the same season.

Marie-Antoinette Katoto – Player of the season

After winning the title of best young player twice (2017-2018, 2018-2019), Paris Saint-Germain's all-time top scorer has been named the best player in D1 Arkema. With two games remaining in the league, the 23-year-old striker leads the scoring charts with 18 goals. Marie Antoinette Katoto follows another Parisian, Kadidiatou Diani.

Gianluigi Donnarumma – Goalkeeper of the season

Gianluigi Donnarumma has been named the best goalkeeper in Ligue 1 for his first season at Paris Saint-Germain. The Italian international succeeds his teammate Keylor Navas. After being voted best player of Euro 2020 and winner of the Yashin Trophy, the 23-year-old Parisian goalkeeper has won another individual award.

Laurina Fazer – Young player of the season

Laurina Fazer, aged just 18, has won the first individual title of her career tonight, succeeding her Red and Blue teammate Sandy Baltimore. The Paris Saint-Germain team wins the trophy for the best female young player for the fourth consecutive season (Marie-Antoinette Katoto in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019, then Sandy Baltimore in 2020-2021).

Four players in the team of the season

Alongside Kylian Mbappé and Gianluigi Donnarumma, two other Paris Saint-Germain players feature in this season's Ligue 1 Team of the Year. Marquinhos, who has scored five goals in 31 games this season, has been named in the best 11 for the third time in a row. Nuno Mendes, who was nominated for the Best Young Player award, was named best left-back at just 19 years old.

Seven female players in the team of the season

Like last season, seven players from Paris Saint-Germain's women's team have been named in the Arkema D1 squad for the 2021-2022 season. Paris Saint-Germain are the most represented team with three defenders, Sakina Karchaoui, Ashley Lawrence and Paulina Dudek, two midfielders, Grace Geyoro and Sara Däbritz, and two strikers, Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Kadidiatou Diani.
