Spain is in the final of the League of Nations. In a crazy match against France, where she led 4-0 before conceding 4 goals in the second period, La Roja managed to hold and validate her ticket for the competition final, which will be held on Sunday, against Portugal.
Beyond the Spanish-France match, it was a meeting opposing Ousmane Dembélé to Lamine Yamal. Many observers saw it as a duel allowing to decide between these two serious candidates for the Ballon d'Or.
Hostilities were already launched before the match on the side of Lamine Yamal. After sharing a story in which he provoked the French team, the Barça player also spoke on the Ballon d'Or. “I will vote for the best player of the year, but if you want to play it on Thursday, we play it on Thursday. I will give it to the best player of the year, and I will keep it for me ”, said the Iberian international.
Golden Ball 2025, advantage Lamine Yamal?
Faced with France, Lamine Yamal did not disappoint. The 17 -year -old has found the net twice, making the Blues defense suffer. For his part, Ousmane Dembélé was not so successful. Despite some opportunities, especially in the 72nd minute when he found the post, Le Parisien failed to materialize.
Asked at the end of the meeting, the native of Esplugues de Llobregat still wanted to recall that the Ballon d'Or rewarded the best player in a full season. And not on one match. “For me, apart from the fact that the most important was this match for the selection to go to the final, the Ballon d'Or is for the best of the yearhe said.
If the trophy depends on today's match, I am open to that, I have no problem. I am very happy to go to the final. »»
