"I told my friends I don't dream of winning one Ballon d'Or, I dream of winning many. I think I'm a player who has the ability to win it, and if I don't, it's because I haven't done things right or because I haven't wanted to. So, I dream of winning the Ballon d'Or many times and when the day comes [that I win it], I'll be very happy."
"The 18-year-old, who has already amassed more than 100 appearances for the Catalan club, is one of the favourites to claim the award this year, the winner of which will be announced at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris on 22 September. Many believe the frontrunner to be Ousmane Dembele, who was instrumental in Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League and treble-winning success last season. However, Yamal played an influential role in Barca's own domestic treble last term, as Hansi Flick's men lifted the LaLiga title, Copa del Rey and the Spanish Supercopa."
Lamine Yamal, 18, aims to win multiple Ballon d'Or awards and says failure would be his own responsibility. He has already made more than 100 appearances for Barcelona and is among the favourites for this year's award, to be presented on 22 September in Paris. Ousmane Dembele is widely viewed as a frontrunner after PSG's treble and Champions League success, but Yamal helped Barcelona secure a domestic treble under Hansi Flick. Yamal began the new LaLiga campaign strongly with two goals and two assists in three games. Barcelona sit fourth and face Valencia next.
