As the verdict approaches, on October 26, the race for the Ballon d’Or continues to be talked about. After Kylian Mbappé, who spoke at length with France Football to promote himself and extol his merits, it is the turn of Lamine Yamal to do the same.
The FC Barcelona star gave an interview to Movistar Plus, which will be released in full on September 18, in which he simply believes he is the best player on the planet… with Kylian Mbappé.
“Kylian Mbappé and I are the best players in the world for me! It’s very clear to me, and everyone who watches the games knows it.”thus released Lamine Yamal, who therefore excluded Ousmane Dembélé or even Harry Kane and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from the debate.
Lamine Yamal: “I think I deserve the Ballon d’Or this year for what I won”
If he places himself in the same galaxy as the captain of the Blues, the 19-year-old Spanish prodigy thinks he has an advantage over the “Kyk’s” because of his major trophies gleaned last season.
“Now I think I deserve the Ballon d’Or this year for what I won”he certified.
It must be said that, unlike Kylian Mbappé, Lamine Yamal has lifted trophies, and not the least important ones, in addition to having performed on an individual level (his 24 goals and 18 assists). Champion of Spain with FC Barcelona and voted best player of the championship, the right winger above all won the World Cup with Spain. Arguments that the “French genius” cannot put forward.
