"I don't think about it. It's an award that, if you're thinking about it, you won't have an answer. It depends on what you win, how you play, who votes; it's not something decided by your performance. I just want to enjoy myself and win with Barça and the national team."
"Now the important moments are coming and this is where the quality players of our team have to step up. I'm enjoying this moment and I'm going for more."
"My game isn't based on [goals]. It's true that it creates controversy because when I play well it's because I don't score, and when I score it's because I don't play well, but I want to play well, for the team to win, and to keep going like this."
Lamine Yamal finished second in the 2025 Ballon d'Or behind Ousmane Dembélé and is not focusing on the individual award. He intends to enjoy himself and prioritize winning with Barcelona and the Spain national team. Barcelona have already claimed the Spanish Super Cup and remain contenders in La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League. Yamal recognizes the season's important moments require quality players to step up and stresses his game should not be judged solely on goals. He has been involved in 33 goals in his last 37 Barcelona appearances, with 18 goals and 15 assists.
