Laporta: Yamal admitted defeat in the Ballon d'Or

Joan Laporta, president of FC Barcelona, shared his thoughts on the club's 18-year-old forward Lamin Yamal finishing second in the Ballon d'Or nomination. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to him, Yamal is not discouraged. Of course, he wanted to win, just like Pedri and Rafinha.

Laporta revealed this on the RAC1 TV channel. It should be recalled that based on last season's results, the Ballon d'Or award was won by France's PSG forward Kylian Mbappé.

Lamin Yamal took second place, and the third spot was secured by PSG midfielder Vitinha. In the current season, Yamal has played three matches in the Spanish La Liga, scoring two goals and providing three assists.

His performance is of great importance to the team, and even better results are expected from him in the future.
