Spain coach Luis de la Fuente has tipped Barcelona star Lamine Yamal to win this year’s Ballon d’Or award.
Recall that Yamal won the domestic Treble with Barca and also the Euros with Spain over the past 12 months.
However, De la Fuente in a chat with the TribalFootball, noted that Yamal has done enough to be considered for the award.
“He is a player with a great future, but he is still developing. We are not seeing the best Lamine yet; he will improve a lot.

“We do not know what this life has in store for him. If he does not get injured, he could become a legend.”
“It’s a process, to deserve the Ballon d’Or… There are other very good players too. These decisions are made in detail. I don’t know if he’ll win it this year, but I’m sure he’ll win it. We’ll have to see if it’s this season.
“We have to analyse his rivals. The most important thing is that he doesn’t focus on a specific objective and that he works as he does and remains humble. If he continues with this dynamic, he’ll have many options.”
