João Félix Endorses Lamine Yamal for Ballon d’Or, Calling Him the Embodiment of Football

A post by Barcelona-focused account @ReshadRahman shares quotes from João Félix strongly backing Lamine Yamal for the Ballon d’Or. Félix describes Yamal as a star who deserves to be immortalized in football history, the player who keeps viewers glued to the screen (“Lamine is football”), while noting Mbappé and Kane’s strong seasons but stressing that Yamal’s World Cup win is a major factor that brings a player closer to the award. It is trending because it fuels the current Ballon d’Or conversation around the young Barcelona and Spain star, amplified by multiple football media accounts reposting the striking “Lamine is football” line shortly after it appeared.
