Hansi Flick Backs Lamine Yamal’s Ballon d’Or Ambition
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has defended the club’s support for Lamine Yamal in the 2026 Ballon d’Or race. He said the 19-year-old’s confidence is an important part of what makes him effective on the pitch. Flick said Barcelona are right to promote their own player, following comments from midfielder Rodri about the club’s backing for Yamal. He added that Yamal’s belief helps him take on opponents in one-on-one situations. Yamal is among the leading contenders after Barcelona’s domestic successes and Spain’s World Cup triumph. He is expected to compete with Kylian Mbappé and Harry Kane for the award in October.
