Gavi Says If Yamal Doesn’t Win Ballon d’Or This Year He Will Win Many in the Future
Spain and Barcelona midfielder Gavi has thrown his full support behind his young teammate Lamine Yamal, saying the rising star has what it takes to win multiple Ballon d’Or titles in the years ahead, even if he doesn’t clinch the 2025 award.
Yamal, just 18, had a standout season under new Barcelona coach Hansi Flick, playing a key role in helping the club lift both the LaLiga trophy and the Copa del Rey. While the official Ballon d’Or winner will be revealed in September, Yamal is already being mentioned alongside big names like Kylian Mbappe, Mohamed Salah, Vitinha, Ousmane Dembele, Pedri, and Raphinha as one of the top contenders.
Speaking about Yamal’s chances, Gavi said, “I really hope he wins. But even if he doesn’t, he’s only 18. Being among the best at this age is special on its own. I’m proud of him.” Gavi went on to praise the young winger’s attitude and growth, saying, “He’s an amazing player. Every day he keeps improving. He’s a joy to watch, even in training. With his mindset, I have no doubt he’ll win many Ballon d’Or awards in the future.”
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
