João Félix, the striker for Al-Nassr, has named Lamine Yamal, the leader of Barcelona, as his top favorite in the race for the Ballon d’Or. In an interview with AS, the Portuguese forward ranked Yamal above Kylian Mbappé and Harry Kane.
The 26-year-old highlighted that Yamal’s style of play is a unique spectacle that captivates football fans worldwide. Félix emphasized that Yamal’s decisive role in Spain‘s World Cup victory places him at the pinnacle of world football. He believes that this prestigious award should recognize outstanding skill and artistry on the pitch.
While acknowledging that Mbappé and Kane had exceptional seasons in terms of goal-scoring, Félix stressed that Yamal brings an unparalleled brightness and flair to the game. He admitted that he regularly watches Barcelona matches specifically to observe the young winger’s performances. Félix stated that Yamal embodies the true essence of entertaining football.
“If there is a player for whom you turn on the TV and can’t take your eyes off the screen watching his play, it’s Lamine. Of course, Mbappé and Kane had great seasons, but Lamine is football itself. Moreover, he won the World Cup, which is very important in the years when this tournament is held,” Félix said.
