At only 18 years old, Lamine Yamal continues his meteoric rise at Barça, despite some physical problems at the start of the season. Crowned winner of the Di Stéfano prize rewarding the best player of the season by MARCAhe was ahead of European football references like Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius and his teammates Pedri and Raphinha. A distinction which, according to the young Spanish international, above all reflects the collective dynamic: “All these individual titles testify to the team’s excellent season. Accumulating awards at my age is a source of immense pride. I will continue to work to go even further. » Lamine is also relishing the return to Camp Nou, which he considers a real asset for the rest of the season: “Montjuïc was good, but it was not our home. The Camp Nou will be a huge support for everyone. »
Known for his extraordinary ambition, Lamine Yamal is aiming for nothing less than all the objectives this year: collective trophies as well as personal distinctions. While the year 2026 promises to be busy between La Liga, Champions League, World Cup and possible race for the Ballon d’Or, the player is putting no limits on his dreams. Asked what he hopes to win first, he answered without any hesitation: “Championship, Champions League, World Cup or Ballon d’Or? I want everything, and it’s possible. » A statement which perfectly illustrates the confidence, perhaps even too much, of the Catalan prodigy, who therefore seems ready to write a new page in the history of Barça and Spanish football.
