In the world of football, on the eve of the match against Feyenoord, Lamine Yamal, captain of Barcelona and the Spanish national team, told journalists that his absolute priority is the Champions League, while for the Ballon d'Or he does not intend to make any public plea.

Yamal spoke on the eve of the match against Feyenoord, emphasizing his role as a leader both at Barcelona and in the national team, world champions.

Champions Objective and New Faces

The young striker reiterated that the Champions League is his main objective, describing it as the most special tournament. He mentioned the new arrivals Gordon, Rodri, Adeyemi and Joao as elements that could make the triumph possible.

Regarding the Ballon d'Or, Yamal admitted that the thought is present, but he ruled out any form of pleading, asserting that the award depends on the fans' consensus.

When asked about the media appearances of Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé, he confirmed that he is second in 2025 behind the PSG striker, without feeling the need for a campaign.

Yamal recalled that Barcelona has won La Liga for the second time and that Spain is world champion, adding that he cannot ask for more.

He joked about an interview with France Football in which Dembélé listed a top‑3 consisting of Kane, Kvaratskhelia and Mbappé, stating that the trophy should remain in the hands of a PSG player.

Being Barcelona's captain at nineteen is an honour for him; he is grateful to his teammates for their trust and has promised to give his utmost for the team.
