"Yamal, 18, is one of the favourites to claim the award this year alongside Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembélé, with the winner announced at a gala at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris on Sept. 22. "I told my friends I don't dream of winning one Ballon d'Or, I dream of winning many," he told the podcast Resonancia de Corazón this week when asked if he coveted individual glory to go with team success."
"Despite his age, Yamal has already made over 100 appearances for Barça, scoring 18 goals and providing 25 assists last season as Hansi Flick's side won LaLiga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Supercopa. He has started this season in similar form, scoring twice and setting up two more in three LaLiga games, and says he would be at fault if Ballon d'Or glory does not eventually follow."
Lamine Yamal, 18, aims to win multiple Ballon d'Or awards rather than just one and says he will be to blame if he never secures one. He is among the favourites alongside Ousmane Dembélé, with the winner to be announced on Sept. 22. Yamal has made over 100 appearances for Barcelona, scored 18 goals and provided 25 assists last season as the team won LaLiga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Supercopa. He began the current season strongly and identifies Champions League and World Cup objectives while stating a desire to keep winning for club and country.
