Memphis Depay has been included in the Ligue 1 Team of the Season. The Olympique Lyon captain is at the forefront along with Neymar and Kylian Mbappé of Paris Saint-Germain. Depay also received an individual award on Sunday evening. With two assists against OGC Nice (2-3 loss), he ended up on twelve assists, more than any player in Ligue 1. That is why he received the ‘Trophée de meilleur passeur’, the prize for the best passer.
The 27-year-old Depay can look back on a good season in the French league. Thanks to his twelve assists and twenty goals, he is the only Dutchman to win a place in the Team of the Season. Lille OSC defender Sven Botman, who became champion on Sunday evening, also seemed a contender. In the center of the defense, however, the PSG duo Presnel Kimpembe and Marquinhos have been chosen.
