Lamine Yamal wins the Kopa Trophy

Lamine Yamal wins the Kopa Trophy for the third consecutive time, becoming the first player to do so. The Barcelona winger recorded 24 goals and 18 assists in 45 matches and was a key figure in the team that won LaLiga and the Spanish Super Cup. He also lifted the 2026 World Cup with his national team.

At an age when most footballers are still finding their feet, Yamal is already a global star. The award recognises a player who combines dribbling, vision and decisiveness in big matches. His career is only just beginning, and he is already competing for football's biggest honours.
