I Want To Win the Ballon d’Or Award Someday – Yamal

Barcelona forward, Lamine Yamal has come out to say that he wants to win the Ballon d’Or someday. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even if his immediate target is to win multiple trophies with Barcelona, especially the Champions League, he wants the ultimate individual trophy in the future.

Yamal added that no footballer wins individual awards if he fails to win anything collectively with his team.

His words, “If I win with Barca, especially the Champions League, I will have more chances to aim for the individual trophy that crowns a player’s career: the Ballon d’Or. No player wins individual awards if he fails to win anything collectively with his team. So by winning collectively I will be closer to individual awards because one thing is the consequence of the other.”

WOW.

Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.

Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.

The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.

In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
