Moroccan international Abde Ezzalzouli has been shortlisted for the February Player of the Month award in La Liga, following a series of impressive performances for Real Betis.
Ezzalzouli earned his nomination after playing a decisive role in Betis’ recent league outings. He found the net in a 2-1 victory over Real Mallorca, before delivering a key assist that proved decisive in a narrow 1–0 win against Atlético Madrid.
The winger faces stiff competition for the individual honour, with Federico Valverde of Real Madrid, Thomas Lemar of Girona FC, Luis Milla of Getafe CF, and Giorgi Mikautadze of Villarreal CF also in contention.

Lemar strengthened his case for the award with a standout display in Girona’s surprise 2-1 home victory over FC Barcelona in the Catalan derby on Monday, opening the scoring in the 24th round of league fixtures.
That defeat left Barcelona second in the league standings on 58 points, while Real Madrid reclaimed top spot with 60 points, adding further weight to an already competitive month in Spain’s top flight.
