Capello Says 17-Year-Old Lamine Yamal is the Best Player in the World

Former Italy coach Fabio Capello has named Barcelona’s rising star Lamine Yamal as the best footballer in the world right now. Capello, who once managed top clubs like Real Madrid, overlooked big names like Mohamed Salah, Ousmane Dembele, and even Raphinha to crown the 17-year-old as his top pick for the 2025 Ballon d’Or.
He praised Yamal for doing things far beyond his age and compared the teenager to football icons like Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, and Cristiano Ronaldo. Yamal played a major role in Spain’s European Championship victory last year, even though he was just 16 at the time.
This season, he helped Barcelona reach the Champions League semifinals and led them to a La Liga title, matching Cristiano Ronaldo’s haul while scoring and assisting in a key 2-0 win over rivals Espanyol.
That victory sealed a domestic treble for Barça. Speaking to El Partidazo de COPE, Capello revealed his top three picks for the Ballon d’Or: Real Madrid stars Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe took second and third place, but Lamine Yamal topped his list.
In his words, “For the Ballon d’Or, I would vote Lamine Yamal. My votes would be: Vinicius, Mbappe, and first, Lamine Yamal.” Capello ended by praising Yamal’s brilliance and fearless playing style, likening it to that of the greatest footballers the game has ever seen.

Liverpool Retire No.20 Shirt to Honour Diogo Jota After His Death in Car Crash

Liverpool have announced they will retire the number 20 shirt in honour of their late forward Diogo Jota. The club confirmed the decision on Thursday, saying the gesture is a lasting tribute to Jota’s impact at Anfield, especially his role in Liverpool’s Premier League triumph last season.
Jota, who passed away at 28 in a tragic car accident in Spain alongside his brother Andre Silva, played a crucial part in the Reds’ 2024–2025 title win, which marked their 20th league crown. One of his most memorable moments came in April, when his signature shimmy and finish secured victory in the Merseyside derby, the final goal of his career.
