If generally, the Laureus Awards concern players with legendary careers, this ceremony also has an eye on the beginnings of a career. Above all, when they are as spectacular as that of Lamine Yamal, who, at only 17, became a world star thanks to his already acquired status of incontestable holder to FC Barcelona and in the Spanish national team, with which he won the Euro.
It is for this reason that the Barça player received the World Revelation Prize of the year, which rewards the sporting and social impact of the young winger, who in a few months has become a must in the minds of all football fans. The Spanish international, who could not attend the gala, was represented by his compatriot Thiago Alcántara. It is up to Yamal to celebrate this trophy as it should be tonight, facing Mallorca.
