OFFICIAL: Lamine Yamal crowned Golden Boy 2024

Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal has been named the winner of the prestigious Golden Boy award for 2024. The 17-year-old becomes the youngest recipient of the honour, solidifying his status as one of the brightest talents in world football.
Yamal's meteoric rise has been nothing short of spectacular. For Barcelona, he has played a pivotal role in their La Liga campaign, contributing crucial goals and assists while showcasing maturity far beyond his years.
His dazzling dribbles, composure in the final third, and ability to change the tempo of a game have made him indispensable to the team's plans. On the international stage, Yamal’s performances with Spain at the 2024 European Championship were instrumental in La Roja's impressive run to the semi-finals, helping his country to win the European trophy in Germany.
In recent years, Barcelona players have dominated this award, with Pedri winning in 2021 and Gavi following suit in 2022. The winger has taken over the award from Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham, winner of the last edition.
