Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has expressed doubt on his chances of winning this year’s Ballon d’Or award.
Recall that Yamal played a key role in helping Barcelona secure a domestic treble in the 2024–25 season, winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Supercopa de Espana.
Speaking with El Partizado de COPE, the Spanish international stated that he can only win the Ballon d’Or award if he lifts the Champions League and World Cup.
“I don’t think about it. You’ll be in trouble if you think about winning the Ballon d’Or. You think about playing, winning, and it will come,” Yamal told El Partizado de COPE.
“If I win the Champions League and the World Cup next year, it will come. It’s about enjoying it and letting it come when it has to.”
