Ballon d’Or: Lamine Yamal Says His “Time Will Come”

Harry Kane won the Ballon d’Or on Monday, October 26, ahead of runner-up Kylian Mbappé and third-place finisher Lamine Yamal. The following day, the FC Barcelona player and Kopa Trophy winner wrote on Instagram: “My time will come. Good things take time.” At 19, Yamal says he wants to develop without rushing and focus on Barcelona’s upcoming fixtures. The club is coming off defeats to PSG in the Champions League and Real Madrid in the Clasico, and will rely on him to help it recover.
