Barcelona sensation, Lamine Yamal has been crowned the 2024 Golden Boy award winner, capping off an incredible breakout year with the club and Spain.
Cyber Reporters reports that at just 17 years old, Yamal has made history as the youngest-ever recipient of the prestigious award.
This achievement marks the third time in four years that a Barcelona player has claimed the Golden Boy award, following in the footsteps of teammates Pedri and Gavi.
Yamal edged out an impressive field of nominees, including Joao Neves, Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, and Warren Zaire-Emery, to claim the coveted honor.
