Striker Lamine Yamal regretted missing the opportunity to win the 2025 Golden Ball at the awards gala on the morning of September 23.

Yamal lost his chance to win the Golden Ball.

The 18-year-old Barcelona star was named the Kopa Trophy by France Football – the award for the best U21 player in the world – for the second year running. However, Yamal’s joy quickly faded when Ousmane Dembele was announced as the winner of the 2025 Ballon d’Or.

The camera quickly captured the moment Yamal kept a pensive face, seemingly not surprised that Dembele won the award. On social media, many fans thought this expression was both acceptance and a bit of regret that Yamal missed the opportunity to conquer the noble title for the first time in his career.

After the ceremony ended, Yamal went on stage to hug and congratulate Dembele on his victory.

BeIN SPORTS believes that the defeat in Paris could be a great source of motivation for a young striker like Yamal. Some experts see Yamal's reaction as showing maturity, accepting reality but not losing the desire to conquer.

As for Barcelona, ​​the Catalan team is proud to own a world-class young talent, constantly breaking records and contributing greatly to collective titles. The club's leadership believes that Yamal will soon become a leader, leading Barca on the journey to conquer glory in the 2025/26 season.
