Barcelona’s rising star, Lamine Yamal


Barcelona’s rising star, Lamine Yamal, has been crowned the 2024 Golden Boy, following an exceptional year representing both club and country.

The teenage sensation edged out notable contenders such as Joao Neves, Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, and Warren Zaire-Emery to secure the prestigious honor, which recognizes the most outstanding young football talent each season.

Awarded annually by Italian sports publication Tuttosport, the accolade has previously been won by football legends like Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney, Kylian Mbappé, and last year’s recipient, Jude Bellingham.

Spain has further cemented its dominance in the award’s history, with Yamal becoming the nation’s fifth recipient—a record no other country matches. Past Spanish winners include Cesc Fàbregas, Isco, Pedri, and Gavi, all of whom have enjoyed remarkable careers.

A graduate of Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, Yamal made his first-team debut at just 15. This year, he added a European Championship title with Spain to his achievements, capping off a breakthrough season at Barça. Despite his youth, Yamal consistently showcases world-class performances, solidifying his reputation as one of football’s brightest prospects.
