It was a trophy-laden season for Rodri, lifting the Premier League, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup with City, as well as Euro 2024 with Spain.The award did not hold in 2020 because of COVID-19, denying Robert Lewandowski the chance to win the trophy.

Since Luka Modric won the award in 2018, Rodri is the first midfielder to win it. Lionel Messi has won three of the prizes since then, with Karim Benzema winning one.

Baba Suwe: A Genius of Comedy

Of the three genres of Literature, Drama is the most versatile, the most social and the most physically present of all artistic productivity. It being a composite interplay of literature, visual art, speech, movement and spectacle, for me, makes it the icing on the cake of the three genres of literature. Perhaps, in the process of drama creation, various social aspects of human history are contracted and expanded in artistic reflection and refraction. In so doing, pleasure and entertainment are guaranteed as a sole purpose.
