Rúben Dias wins the award for the best footballer in the Premier

Manchester City have won the Premier League and Rúben Dias has been voted the best footballer of the season. This has been voted by the FWA (Football Writers Association), which has decided that the award will go to the 23-year-old Portuguese central defender who arrived last summer at Pep Guardiola's team and who has since established himself as owner and lord from the defensive line of the 'citizens', who have not yet finished their season: in addition to Sunday's game where they will lift the league title, in just over a week they will play their first Champions League final in history.

Rúben Dias came to Manchester City in exchange for 70 million euros but his impact on the squad has been a success. Of the 31 games he has played, 14 have ended with a clean sheet. A leader who has earned the respect of the entire league and who has propelled the Citizens towards their third league in the last four years. In doing so, Dias becomes the first defender to win the award since Steve Nicol in 1989.
