independent.co.uk —

Lamine Yamal won the Golden Boy award for the second time but said Barcelona teammate Pau Cubarsi deserved it more, as the 19-year-old targets his first Ballon d'Or. Yamal is a top contender for the Ballon d'Or after winning the World Cup with Spain and scoring 24 goals with 18 assists last season. He has 20 goal contributions in 13 games this campaign. The Spaniard could become the first player since Lionel Messi to win both awards on the same night. He previously won Golden Boy in 2024 and was Ballon d'Or runner-up last year.
