Lamine Yamal has not left empty -handed hands of the Châtelet Theater. Like last year, the Barcelona prodigy indeed won the Raymond Kopa trophy rewarding the best young. But the Spanish striker necessarily aimed for another trophy.
Despite the incredible season delivered by PSG, winner of five trophies including the Champions League, and the crazy statistics of Ousmane Dembélé, author of 35 goals and 16 assists, the Catalan player hoped to win the Ballon d'Or, as he had explained in the Spanish press.
In the end, Lamine Yamal had to be satisfied with second place behind Ousmane Dembélé and to believe Vincent Garcia, the editor -in -chief of France Football, the coronation of the Parisian player has suffered from no dispute. “There was no match. Ousmane won it quite largely. Ousmane has largely won the membership of our Ballon d'Or jurors. It is a Ballon d'Or which is authoritative to our jurors. On all continents: Ousmane Dembélé's Golden Ball is clear and clear ”, he said.
The father of Lamine Yamal angry
However, Mounir Nasraoui, the father of Lamine Yamal, present in Paris with all his clan, lived badly in the second place of his son.
“I would not say a flight but a moral damage to a human being”, he launched at the microphone of El Chiringuito, adding:
“Because I think Lamine Yamal is the best player in the world. By far … and very far. Not because he is my son but because he is the best player in the world, he has no rival. It's Lamine Yamal. Something very strange happened here. Next year, he will be the Spanish Ballon d'Or. »»
The interested party seemed to live this second place better as evidenced by his hug given to Ousmane Dembélé at the end of the ceremony. “I'm not going to forget my teammates, everyone helped me be there tonight. I will have to continue working to win other titles in the future ”,
He also said after receiving the Raymond Kopa trophy.
