He scored three goals and assisted one in three games, with the headliner coming against Real Madrid in a 0-4 routing at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Aubameyang was also nominated for the award in February, in his first-ever month in La Liga. His four goals in four appearances were not enough for him to beat out Thibaut Courtois for the award, though.

He will be competing with four other forwards, and two central midfielders for the prize. Karim Benzema is among the mix with his three goals and two assists in two games.

Joao Felix has been nominated on the back of his superb run of form, which included three goals and an assist.

Valencia’s Goncalo Guedes and Osasuna’s Chimy Avila’s two goals each in three and two games, respectively, were enough for them to feature in the nominations.

Espanyol went unbeaten across the month, and Sergi Darder headlined all three games with two assists and five chances created. Ruben Alcaraz was mammoth for Cadiz, scoring once and creating five chances.

While the statistics are pretty evenly matched across the board, Aubameyang’s brace in the El Clasico might give him the edge this month. Either way, two nominations in two months is a dream start for the Gabonese.
