Lamine Yamal showed why he is one of the candidates for the Ballon d'Or, with a stellar performance in the 5-4 victory over France, which took Spain to the Nations League final.
The Barcelona gem won a penalty, scored two goals, and gave the French defense a LOT of trouble.
Voted the best player of the semifinal by UEFA, Yamal commented on the "competition" for the Ballon d'Or with Dembélé, in an interview with TVE.
I always tell my mother that I try to give my best. The best thing is to speak on the field. That's what motivates me to play football; that's what makes me get up in the morning. Dembélé is a great player, but we're in the final.
Spain faces Portugal in the Nations League final this Sunday (8th), at 4 p.m., in Munich.
In the interview with TVE, Yamal spoke about the expectation of winning the second consecutive title for Spain and also praised Cristiano Ronaldo.
"We are two very good teams, with world-class players. The best will win. I hope to bring the trophy back to Spain," he said.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a legend, I respect him a lot, and I will do my job, which is to win, that's it
So, who will be the champion, guys?
