Controversy Surrounds Ballon d’Or Voting for Barcelona’s Young Talent

Father’s Critique of Voting Results

The father of Lamine Yamal, an emerging star from Barcelona, has publicly criticized the outcome of the Ballon d’Or voting. The 18-year-old player ended up in second place, falling short to Ousmane Dembele from PSG.

A Father’s Defense

Mounir Nasraoui, Yamal’s father, firmly believes that his son should have been awarded the prestigious title. In a statement made on El Chiringuito, he expressed his views passionately, asserting, “This isn’t merely a trivial mistake; it’s a significant emotional blow to an individual. I genuinely believe that Lamine Yamal is unquestionably the best player globally and undoubtedly the one who brings the most impact on the field.”

He continued, “It’s not just because I’m his father; he genuinely stands out as the finest player in the world. No one else compares to him; Lamine Yamal is unique. I believe something unusual has taken place here. A shout-out to everyone in Spain, and I foresee that next year will rightfully belong to Spanish football.”
