As we await September 22, a former Real Madrid coach is backing Lamine Yamal for the Ballon d'Or.

The debate over the favorite for the 2025 Ballon d'Or rages on. While Kylian Mbappé is rooting for Ousmane Dembélé, a former Real Madrid manager sees Lamine Yamal as the next winner. That man is none other than Fabio Capello. "I would vote for Lamine for the Ballon d'Or. First Yamal, then Vinicius and Mbappé," he revealed.

Meanwhile, Paulo Futre, the Porto and Atlético legend, believes Yamal will clinch several Ballon d'Or trophies in the coming years. "The kid is a phenomenon. The personality and character he has are incredible. At his age, I think we're looking at the next Ballon d'Or winner—he could win several," he stated.
