OFFICIAL: LAMINE YAMAL WINS 2024 GOLDEN BOY AWARDS
Lamine Yamal has been named the 2024 Golden Boy winner following a memorable year with Barcelona and Spain.
The 17-year-old scoops the award given to the player voted Europe’s best under the age of 21 by journalists across the continent’s leading newspapers, including Tuttosport, The Times and L’Equipe.
Yamal played a starring role in Spain’s Euro 2024 success, while he has consolidated his position in Barca’s attack under Xavi and Hansi Flick – helping the Blaugrana to the LaLiga summit this season.
The winger, who will receive his trophy next month, beat the likes of Alejandro Garnacho, Leny Yoro and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens to the award.
It is the latest individual award Yamal has landed, having also scooped the Kopa Trophy at last month’s Ballon d’Or ceremony.
The teenager is the fourth Barca player to win the Golden Boy accolade, after Lionel Messi, Pedri and Gavi.
