In a resounding endorsement, Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz has backed Barcelona's teenage sensation Lamine Yamal to win the Ballon d'Or in the future. Yamal, just 16, has been making waves with his impressive performances for Spain, forming a lethal wing partnership with Nico Williams. Ruiz, who scored a stunning goal against Croatia, believes Yamal and Williams are destined for greatness.
"Lamine and Nico are on their way to winning the Ballon d'Or, and I am sure that they will continue to grow and have a present and future," Ruiz said in an interview with AS. Yamal's dazzling displays have left many in awe, with his pace and skill on the wing causing havoc for opposing teams.
Despite Barcelona's disappointing domestic season, Yamal's emergence has provided a silver lining for the Blaugrana faithful. With Pedri, Ilkay Gundogan, and Jules Kounde also impressing for their national teams, the future looks bright for Barcelona. Ruiz's endorsement of Yamal's Ballon d'Or potential is a testament to the youngster's immense talent and potential for greatness. As Yamal continues to shine, the football world will be watching with bated breath to see if he can fulfill his promise and become one of the game's all-time greats.
