Trophy Kopa X2: FC Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal remains patient in his pursuit of the coveted Ballon d'Or, as suggested by his recent social media post. The Barcelona and Spain player, who recently celebrated his 18th birthday, was named second behind Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembele in Monday's star-studded presentation in Paris.
Despite his impressive performance in leading Barca to both a League and Cup double in Spain and reaching the Champions League semifinals last season, Yamal recognises that his opportunity to claim the Ballon d'Or will come, reports Xinhua.
"God's plan is perfect; you have to climb to get to the summit," wrote the teenager on his social media.
