Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal has been crowned the 2024 Golden Boy after a sensational campaign that saw him propel Spain to European Championship glory.
Turning 17 just a day before Spain’s 2-1 triumph over England in the Euro 2024 final, Yamal played a pivotal role in ‘La Roja’s’ success, earning both the Young Player of the Tournament and the Goal of the Tournament honors for his stunning strike against France in the semi-finals.
Originally set to collect the prestigious award in Turin, the teenager will remain sidelined for three to four weeks due to an ankle injury sustained during Barcelona’s 1-0 loss to Leganés in La Liga on Sunday.
