Yamal triumphs: New Golden Boy breaks records and gets a laugh!

Lamine Yamal, the 17-year-old FC Barcelona prodigy, is causing a stir in the football world. After his brilliantly executed pass that led to the decisive goal in the thrilling 3-2 win against Borussia Dortmund, he was not only named “Player of the Match” but also struggled with a rather delicate problem after the final whistle: he urgently had to go to a doping test but had no access to the toilet. Yamal said with a smile on Spanish television: “I pissed myself after the game, but they didn't let me go to the toilet,” which caused amusement. His coach Hansi Flick praised the rising star and attributed the triumph to the strong team spirit of the Catalans, who remain on the way to a Champions League title while topping the table Today.at reported.

Records for football history

Yamal not only shines on the pitch, but also sets records. He was named “Golden Boy” 2024, an honor given to the best U-21 player in Europe by the Italian sports magazine Tuttosport. With 488 out of 500 possible points, he surpassed Jude Bellingham's previous record. At just 17 years and four months, he is the youngest winner of this prestigious award since its inception in 2003. This marks the fourth win by a player currently under contract with a La Liga club and cements Yamal's status as the centerpiece of the current Barcelona team, as Kicker.de reported.

The football world is looking forward to the further development of Yamal, who, with his outstanding talent and recent successes, is now considered one of football's greatest talents. His performances at Barcelona and the Spanish national team, with which he became European champions, cemented his place in football's Olympus.
