Pedri backs Lamine Yamal to win the Best Young Player of the Year Award

Strong support for his colleague Lamine Yamal, who stands as a possible Golden Boy award winner, has been voiced by Barcelona's Pedri. Yamal's outstanding performance in Euro 2024 qualifies this recommendation.

At the tender age of seventeen, Yamal was the tournament's shining star. He scored once, provided four assists, and qualified for the Team of the Tournament, therefore helping Spain to triumph. He also was named the Young Player of the Tournament.

Lamine Yamal also made waves with Barcelona prior to his remarkable showing in Europe. He made 17 goal contributions in 50 games throughout all competitions in the 2023–24 season.

Lamine Yamal's recent displays have firmly established him as one of the most promising prospects in football, resulting in a substantial rise in his market worth. Yamal, an exceptional attacker for Barcelona, is now a top candidate for the prestigious Golden Boy award. This honour is given to the most outstanding young player in Europe who is under the age of 21.

Pedri, who was the recipient of the prestigious Golden Boy award in 2021, expresses the same opinion. When questioned about his choice for the award, Pedri openly endorsed Yamal, stating his absolute conviction in Yamal's worthiness for the coveted recognition (via The Residency). Pedri said: 

“The next Golden Boy? Lamime Yamal 100%”

The Spanish boys will now be seen in action for FC Barcelona once the season starts. Their arch-rivals, Real Madrid recently acquired Kylian Mbappe for free. The next season will be an exciting one as these top-class players will compete with each other.
