Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann was named Primera Liga player of the season for 2015/16 on Monday, ahead of the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Atletico’s Diego Simeone also took the manager of the season award while Barcelona striker Luis Suarez was named the top non-EU player.
Curiously, though, Barca’s Messi was recognised as the best forward at the award ceremony in Valencia.
Atletico dominated the awards as Jan Oblak was best goalkeeper, Diego Godin top defender and Frenchman Griezmann also claimed the fans’ award.
Real Madrid weren’t left empty-handed, though, as Luka Modric was named best midfielder.
