Lamine Yamal Reveals Bold Ballon d’Or Ambitions as He Prepares for Defining Season with Barcelona and Spain
Lamine Yamal says he is not focused on winning the 2026 Ballon d’Or and has prioritised success with Barcelona and Spain over the next 10 months.
The 18-year-old came second to Ousmane Dembele last year and will again be among the favourites to land the prize with Barca still fighting on three fronts: the Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey.
The winner, though, is likely to have played a large role in this summer’s World Cup and Yamal says his ambitions are collective, not individual.
He told Mundo Deportivo: “I don’t think about it, it’s a prize that if you think about it, you won’t have an answer. It is something that depends on what you win, how you play, on those who vote, it is not something that is decided solely on your game. I just want to enjoy things and win with Barça and the national team.”
