Lamine Yamal, the 17-year-old Barcelona star, is competing for the Ballon d'Or along with Ousmane Dembélé and Raphinha, but emphasizes that individual accolades are not his priority. He believes the award should reflect consistent performance over the year rather than just results from their upcoming UEFA Nations League semifinal against France. Yamal's impressive statistics from the past season, including 18 goals and 25 assists, contribute to his candidacy, yet he aims for broader achievements like Champions League and World Cup victories, showcasing a mature athlete's mindset toward success.
Yamal expressed confidence in his performance this season while emphasizing that personal accolades should not overshadow team success and collective achievements in tournaments.
While acknowledging the competition for the Ballon d'Or, Yamal insists that his focus remains on collective goals with Barcelona and the Spanish national team.
