Yamal's path to this honor is remarkable. At just 17, he has made a significant impact both at Barcelona and on the international stage. Last season, Yamal featured in 50 matches for Barcelona, scoring seven goals and assisting nine times. His exceptional talent and versatility have been crucial for Barcelona's success.
Yamal also shone in Spain's Euro 2024 campaign, becoming the youngest player to score and assist in a European Championship. He ended the tournament with one goal and four assists, playing a key role in Spain's victory.
The 2024 Kopa Trophy top 8 included some of the brightest young talents in football. Alongside Yamal were Kobbie Mainoo, Arda Guler, Savinho, Pau Cubarsi, Alejandro Garnacho, Warren Zaire-Emery, and Joao Neves. Yamal's outstanding performances earned him the top spot in this elite group, making him the youngest player to win the award in its history.
