Trofeo EFE

Trofeo EFE is an annual football award given by the EFE news agency since the 1990–91 season to the best Latin-American player in La Liga. Recipients are selected based on assessments from the agency's sports editors.[1]

The inaugural winner was Rommel Fernández and the most recent recipient is Keylor Navas. Iván Zamorano and Ronaldo Nazário have won the award twice. Fernando Redondo received a special distinction as the best player of the 1990s decade. Strangely, Cristiano Ronaldo somehow managed to collect the award despite not hailing from Ibero-America.

Lionel Messi won the award a record five times, more than any other player in the history of Trofeo EFE.

Lionel Messi is the award's record winner with five wins, four of which consecutively.
