FC Barcelona: Lamine Yamal still disgusted the Real Madrid of Kylian Mbappé!

During the Golden Ball ceremony on Monday, Lamine Yamal kept the Kopa 2025 Trophy. The young 18 -year -old Spanish striker was elected for the second consecutive year best player under the age of 21 in the world. He is ahead of Désiré Doué, author of an exceptional season with Paris Saint-Germain, culminating during the Champions League final against Inter Milan, where he delivered a decisive performance.

The Rules of the Ballon d'Or allows a player to win the Kopa trophy several times, unlike the Golden Boy. Yamal, already winner last year, is therefore won again in front of a promising generation: Pau Cubarsi (FC Barcelona), Ayyoub Bouaddi (Lille), Estevao (Palmeiras/Chelsea), Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth/Real Madrid), Myles Lewis-Skelly (Arsenal), Rodrigo Mora (FC Porto) Neves (PSG), Kenan Yildiz (Juventus) and Désiré Doué (PSG). A double to come with the Ballon d'Or tonight or consolation lot for the Catalan nugget? Answer in a few minutes.
