Barcelona Star Backs Lamine Yamal in Ballon D’or Race With PSG Rival

Over the next few months, many will be asked who should win the award, and obviously, players on Barcelona and PSG will want to see their teammate lift the honor. Gavi recently spoke with Diario AS and stated his desire to see Yamal win the award.

“I hope he will win,” Gavi said (h/t Le10Sport). “If he doesn’t win this year, he is 18 years old and very young. Being among the favorites is something unique. I’m happy with what he is doing with us. He is an incredible player. He improves day by day. He is amazing in training. He must keep going like this, with that mindset, and I’m sure that if he doesn’t win the Ballon d’Or this year, he will win many more in the future.”
