Barcelona club president Joan Laporta spoke out after Lamine Yamal once again came very close to winning the Ballon d’Or.

In this year’s voting, the 19-year-old talent finished third behind Kylian Mbappé and winner Harry Kane.

"We must now surround Lamine with love and support; that is the very least he deserves.

I will support Lamine all the way so that he can win this award next year,” said J. Laporta.
