The last year has been fairy tale stuff for the FC Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal. The winger made his way to the first team only in the last season, and, during this time, has already broken several records related to achievements made at a young age. Recently, he won the UEFA EURO 2024 with Spain and was named the Best Young Player in this tournament.

His latest achievement has been his candidacy for the upcoming Ballon d’Or award, as he has been named among the 30 candidates to win the most prestigious individual award in football. He is the youngest footballer in history to have made this list.

But while he may not win the Ballon d’Or this year, he has also been named for the Kopa Trophy, for which he is one of the favorites. He is also highly likely to win the Golden Boy Award this year.

Such emergence in football in such a short time has naturally brought a lot of fame to the youngster as well. As SPORT has reported, the latest evidence of his increasing fame comes in the form of his picture gracing the cover of one of the biggest publications in European football, France Football. This is the same magazine that presents the Ballon d’Or Award.

On the cover of the upcoming edition of this magazine is a full picture of Lamine Yamal in Barcelona colors. This picture is accompanied by the text: “I want to leave my mark on football”.

^th and will include this interview in which Yamal reviews his brilliant year with Barcelona and the Spanish national team.
