Lamine Yamal: My time will come too

Barcelona's young star Lamine Yamal broke his silence after the Ballon d'Or, football's most prestigious individual award. Speaking after the ceremony where Harry Kane won the award, Yamal noted that although he was one of the major candidates this year, he was only able to take home the Young Player of the Year award.

In a post on his Instagram account, Yamal stressed the importance of being patient. "That day will come; good things take time. I trust the path I have drawn. Without rushing, with hope, and with the calm of knowing that my moment will come one day too," he wrote. The message quickly drew strong interest from Barcelona supporters.

The young footballer also congratulated the winners. Saying "I congratulate the winners," Yamal emphasized that his priority now turns to what matters most again, namely FC Barcelona winning once more.

Yamal's statement reveals the motivation of a young player who aims for success with his club. What trophies Barcelona will win in the coming period, and how Yamal rises in the individual award race, will be followed closely.
