Renato Tapia has been awarded the Estrella Galicia Prize for Best Player of the Month for December, thanks to the support of the Celeste fans in a vote where he surpassed Jørgen Strand Larsen and Vicente Guaita.
The Peruvian’s outstanding performance over the 360 minutes played in December, with his solid defensive work and game vision, earned him his first Estrella Galicia Prize of the season.
Upon receiving the award, Tapia expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you to Estrella Galicia and to all the fans who voted for me. I believe that without the team’s effort, not just in football terms but also morally, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve this.” “These have been very tough months, but I always knew that effort and dedication would lead me to a moment like this. I know this isn’t the most important thing, but recognition is always good,” concluded the Celeste defender.
