Joan Laporta, president of the "Barcelona" football club, shared new thoughts about winger Lamin Yamal's fight for the "Ballon d'Or." This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The last time this prestigious award was won by Ousmane Dembele, and 18-year-old Yamal took second place in the voting. Laporta said in an interview with RAC1 TV channel: "For Yamal, taking second place at 18 years old is a special achievement.
I believe he deserves the 'Ballon d'Or.' He will win this award next year." Also, on Monday in Paris, Yamal did not leave empty-handed.
The talented winger received the Kopa Trophy as the best young player of last season. Lamin has won this award for the second consecutive year.
These achievements indicate that he will reach even greater success in the future.
