Lamine Yamal has once again won the Young Talent of the Year Award, becoming the first footballer in history to win the accolade in three consecutive editions, APA reports.
Following his victories in 2024 and 2025, the young FC Barcelona forward has once again been chosen as the best under-21 footballer in the world, confirming his dominance of an award that, by now, to all intents and purposes, bears his name.
At just 19 years of age, the youngster from Rocafonda in Mataró continues to build an extraordinary career. If his first award, in 2024, was already important because of his precocious talent, and his second, in 2025, made him the first player ever to successfully defend the title, he has now gone one step further with an unprecedented third consecutive win, placing him in a privileged position in football history.
