18 years old, runner-up for the 2025 Ballon d’Or, and Lamine Yamal has just said something no one expected: that it was good that Dembélé won it. 🤯
In a YouTube Q&A, the Barca star was blunt: “It wasn’t the right time, I was a kid and I wouldn’t have valued winning a Ballon d’Or”.
Dembélé took it with 1.380 points against Lamine’s 1.059. Half the world is applauding him — the maturity of a star without an ego. The other half is skeptical: genuine sincerity or a polished image?
Lamine already warned: “Let’s see if this year is mine”. Was it a genuine reflection or simply the smartest answer he could give? 💬⚽
