Lamine Yamal, 17-year-old prodigy striker, won the 2024 Kopa Trophy, awarded to the best player under the age of 21, during the Ballon d’Or ceremony. This distinction crowns an exceptional year where he shone with FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team, notably contributing to his country's victory at Euro 2024. With 10 goals and 14 assists in 65 matches this season, he has established himself as an essential talent. He is the youngest player in history to receive this award and joins other Barcelona winners such as Pedri and Gavi. This trophy probably marks the start of a career rich in distinctions for this young phenomenon.
