Barcelona’s 17-year-old star Lamine Yamal wins La Liga’s U23 award after a stunning season with 43 goal contributions and multiple trophies, ahead of the Nations League semi-final.
Lamine Yamal has been crowned the best young player of the season in La Liga, and few will argue with the decision. The teenage sensation stood out in Barcelona’s title-winning campaign and was among the most impactful players across all competitions.
The 17-year-old winger registered a staggering 18 goals and 25 assists in all competitions, helping Barça win La Liga, the Spanish Cup, and the Super Cup. He also played a key role in their run to the Champions League semi-finals.
Yamal's impact has been so significant that he was even mentioned among candidates for the senior player of the season. His technical ability, maturity, and decisiveness have turned him into one of Europe’s hottest talents.
This marks his second Spanish championship title and adds to his growing list of honors. Last year, he also won the European Championship with the Spanish national team.
Tonight, Yamal is expected to start in the highly anticipated Nations League semi-final against France, proving once again that age is no barrier to greatness.
He recently extended his contract with Barcelona, committing to the club until June 2031, further cementing his role as the future of the Catalan giants.
