Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal has played down the growing talk around a future Ballon d’Or win, insisting his focus is on team success as he set out his personal targets for 2026.
Asked about the biggest individual prize in football, Yamal made it clear he is not thinking about awards at this stage, stressing that trophies and helping his side are what matter most right now.
The Spain international also revealed his goals for 2026, pointing to clear ambitions with both club and country as he continues his rapid rise at Barcelona.
Yamal’s comments come with expectations rising around the winger after his breakout season, but the 16-year-old is determined to keep his attention on what he can control rather than outside noise.
For now, the forward is staying grounded, looking ahead to the next steps in his development with Barcelona and aiming to hit the targets he has set for 2026.
