Lamine Yamal Aims for Golden Boy Glory Following Youngest Award Triumph

Fresh off receiving the Youngest Trophy on Monday, Lamine Yamal is setting his sights on claiming the prestigious Golden Boy award in the near future. Expressing gratitude to Tuttosport and the journalists who voted for him, the promising talent outlined his aspirations after the ceremony.

“I want to thank Tuttosport and all the journalists who voted for me. I also want to thank my family and all the coaches who have helped me get here,” said Lamine. Acknowledging the significance of the Youngest Trophy, awarded to the youngest player on the Golden Boy podium for the first time, he expressed his desire to secure the ultimate recognition.

“It’s the first award I received, and I would like to win the real one, the ‘Golden Boy’. Sooner or later, I will, I promise. I admire the footballers who have won it, among them is Messi, and I would like to be on that list,” added the ambitious youngster.

Having made a notable impact in 20 appearances for Barcelona this season, contributing with one goal and three assists, Yamal positions himself as a strong contender for the Golden Boy award next year if he maintains his consistent performances.
