The head coach of the Spanish national team, Luis De La Fuente, after losing to Portugal in the Nations League final via penalties, once again praised 17-year-old Lamine Yamal:

"No, L. Yamal is not a candidate to win the Ballon d'Or award.

He is the best football player in the world and has already done much more to win this award."

17-year-old Lamine Yamal scored 18 goals and provided 25 assists in 55 matches for the "Barcelona" club last season.
