The young Spaniard has rightfully earned this prestigious accolade.
The official La Liga website announced that Lamine Yamal has been named the best under-23 player of the past season.
Last season, Lamine featured in 35 matches in the Spanish championship, scoring 9 goals and providing 15 assists, establishing himself as one of the driving forces behind the Blaugrana’s La Liga campaign.
The 17-year-old Spaniard outshone such rivals as Jude Bellingham, Fabio Silva, Diego Lopez, Arda Güler, Pedri Gonzalez, and Alberto Moleiro.
By the way, the portal Transfermarket values Lamine Yamal at a staggering €180 million, making him the second most expensive young player in the world—only trailing Vinícius Júnior.
