Lamine Yamal finishes third in Ballon d'Or behind Kane and Mbappé

3cat.cat (Spanish) —

Lamine Yamal finished third in the Ballon d'Or, with Harry Kane winning the award and Kylian Mbappé taking second place. The Barcelona winger missed out on the top individual prize in football. Yamal's third-place finish surprised many fans, as he finished behind Mbappé, who won no titles last season. The ceremony took place in London, where Kane was announced as the winner by Ronaldo Nazário. This was Yamal's third consecutive Kopa Trophy win for best young player, though he stated Pau Cubarsí deserved it more. No player has won both the Kopa and Ballon d'Or in the same night since 2018.
