Lamine Yamal, a winger for FC Barcelona, stated in an interview with Teledeporte that he supports his teammate Pau Cubarsi in winning the Ballon d'Or. Both Yamal and Cubarsi have been nominated among the final 30 candidates for the prestigious award.
Yamal expressed that he believes Cubarsi was the best young player in the world last year and that either the Kopa Trophy, awarded to the best young player, or the Ballon d'Or should go to him. Yamal mentioned, “When I won it, I told him that he would be next,” indicating his confidence in Cubarsi's potential.
He also added that if Cubarsi does not win the award for any reason, he would personally give it to him, showcasing their camaraderie and mutual respect as teammates.
