It will be necessary to wait until October to find out the verdict concerning the Ballon d'Or. To find out if the trophy is won by Ousmane Dembélé, Lamine Yamal … or by another player which would be a surprise.
Favorite n ° 1 according to some, Dembélé will still have competition. Because the exploits of Lamine Yamal have marked the spirits, and because the Spanish nugget is the subject of a well -established media campaign from Barcelona. While in Paris, the French striker is not the only pretender to the trophy.
Lamine Yamal (FC Barcelona), one of the two favorites for the Ballon d'Or.

After the historic season I made – there are not many players who scored in quarters, half and in the final – while it is more difficult as a defender. »»
“People think I'm attacker or mid -but, I play in a four line and I must think about defendinghe developed. The statistics I had this year are not those of a normal defender. I think that when a defender does that, he deserves more than an attacker. »»
Golden ball, and all for Dembélé?

This narration is false. Or in any case, let's say that the situation is not the same in Barcelona (or it is clearly everything for Lamine Yamal) as in PSG. And that does not mean that the subject is a time bomb in the Parisian group. There would be “No tension”, According to Loïc Tanzi.
“Players really like each other, even friends for some. Just that the trophy, everyone would like to win it. »»
