“Lamine Yamal Deserved World’s Best Player Title” – Jorge Mendes Says
Lamine Yamal’s agent, Jorge Mendes, has passionately argued that the 17-year-old Barcelona starlet was the best footballer of 2024, despite missing out on the prestigious Ballon d’Or.
“Lamine was the best player in the world this year, but he didn’t get the recognition he deserved because of his age,” Mendes remarked.
“People think he has plenty of time to win, so they overlooked him this time around.”
Despite being just 17, Yamal made history as one of the youngest players to feature in the Ballon d’Or rankings, finishing 8th.
He competed against football heavyweights like Manchester City’s Rodri, who played a crucial role in his team’s treble-winning season, Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham, and Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe.
Others ahead of him included Dani Carvajal, Lautaro Martinez, and the eventual winner Erling Haaland, who had a record-breaking season with Manchester City.
Although Yamal didn’t take home the Ballon d’Or, he was honoured with the award for Best Young Player in the World.
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League this season.
The club had been leading the title race but suffered two consecutive losses, shaking fans’ confidence and raising doubts about their consistency.
Carragher admitted that while Arsenal have been impressive overall, the recent losses were disappointing.
“It was a big result for Arsenal but it wasn’t a great performance. The real question is: if they play like that for the rest of the season, will they win the league? We’ll see.”
