David Villa, a former player for Barcelona, has predicted that Lamine Yamal will take home the Ballon d’Or. Based on his performance for Barcelona this season, the former Spain international thinks the 17-year-old is deserving of the Ballon d’Or. According to Barca Universal, Villa stated at a public event that he believes Yamal has done well.
There are a few more weeks of the season remaining, and I must admit, I have never had much faith in them for this particular prize. I have no doubt he will win it in the end. Thanks to his stellar play for the Catalan club this season, Yamal is a heavy favorite to take home the Ballon d’Or.
Not only has the winger won the Copa del Rey with Barça, but he has been superb for Hansi Flick’s team this season overall.
