Lamine Yamal, the 17-year-old sensation from FC Barcelona, is leading in the race for the 2025 Ballon d’Or award, according to the latest power rankings released by Score90 this month. If he wins, Yamal would become the youngest Ballon d’Or recipient in history.
Yamal’s name sits atop established global stars such as PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé; his Barça mates Raphinha and Pedri; and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, making a dramatic shift in the football landscape.
In an interview with Fabrizio Romano, Jorge Mendes, Yamal’s agent said, “Lamine deserves to win the Ballon d’Or. He has been the best player in the world this season,” Bein Sport reported.
Known for representing Cristiano Ronaldo during his peak, Mendes is no stranger to the intricacies of the award and the performances it demands, and Yamal’s rise this season has caught Europe’s attention. His decisive contributions in LaLiga and continental competitions have propelled him into the spotlight.
He is not only a standout because of his youth, but because he is outperforming veterans with his pace, vision, and composure on the biggest stages.
The presence of three Barcelona players among the top five reflects both the club’s resurgence and the explosive talent leading it.
Spanish outlet Diario Sport reported that Yamal’s age might work in his favor, not as a novelty, but because of the sheer weight of what he’s done in such a short time. His electrifying style and consistency in big games have turned heads, with many voters reportedly swayed by both numbers and impact.
It’s not official yet, but it may as well be. Spain’s sports press predicts FC Barcelona will be the Spanish champions for the 2024-2025 season. Barça’s latest victory over Real Madrid (4-3) in Sunday’s Clasico now gives Hansi Flick’s players a seven-point lead over Real at the top of La Liga with three rounds remaining.
The Catalans now need a win to officially claim their 28th La Liga title. But in everyone’s mind, their fate was already sealed when a crazy clash with Real Madrid resulted in Barça’s 0-2 victory over Real who were leading when they collapsed before half-time.
