Yamal: 'I have no chance of winning Ballon d'Or'

Lamine Yamal is one of two Barcelona players alongside Dani Olmo nominated for the Ballon d’Or award this year. The youngster does not think he will win the accolade in October though.

“We were in the elevator with Nico [Williams] and it first came out that he was nominated,” the Barca forward said on the Antena3 show.

“But I don’t have any chances of winning. I think Madridistas appreciate me because of the national team.”

The 17-year-old scored five goals and provided five assists in 37 La Liga appearances for Barca last season. He also scored once and gave four assists in 7 games at the Euros, which Spain won.
