Barcelona coach Hansi Flick says his young star Lamine Yamal will “one day” win the Ballon d'Or. The Barcelona forward is among the top candidates to receive the annual award for the world’s best soccer player in Paris on Monday. “One day we will see this, that Lamine gets this trophy,” Flick said on Saturday when asked at a prematch press conference at Barcelona’s training grounds. Yamal, who turned 18 in July, helped Barcelona win La Liga and the Copa del Rey last season and reach the Champions League semifinals. He also helped Spain win the European Championship in July 2024. Yamal is one of the 30 nominees for the award, along with teammates Raphinha, Pedri González and Robert Lewandowski.
