Lamine Yamal Makes History With Second Kopa Trophy Win

Lamine Yamal has won the Kopa Trophy again, showing he’s one of the top young football players in the world. The Barcelona star thanked everyone for his success and also congratulated Ousmane Dembele, who was recognized too. Yamal’s achievement this year recognizes him as the best young footballer in the world for 2025, as noted previously.

KOPA TROPHY WINNER AGAIN

At the 2025 Ballon d’Or event, Yamal won the Kopa Trophy for the second time in a row. This award is for the best young male player under 21. At just 18, Yamal has been amazing for Barcelona, scoring and assisting many goals. His skills have made him an important player for Barcelona, a team that is competing for top honors in Spain and Europe again. Yamal played a key role in helping Barcelona win La Liga and multiple other titles during the 2024-25 season.

BARCELONA’S YOUNG STAR SHINES

This season, Barcelona is currently second in La Liga, behind Real Madrid. Yamal has been a highlight in a tough season, with 8 goals and 9 assists in 34 matches. He has played over 270 minutes, more than any other young player in La Liga. His growth is a significant positive for Barcelona, who are also competing in the Champions League. They will play PSG, another team to win their opener and the current title holders.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR YAMAL AND BARÇA?

Barcelona will play Real Oviedo next, a match that is crucial as Oviedo is close to the relegation spots. The Catalan team needs a win to stay close to leader Real Madrid. Yamal’s rise is important for the team’s success this season and for his future. With two Kopa Trophies, many think he could win the Ballon d’Or someday. Meanwhile, Dembele has had a great year at Paris Saint-Germain, helping them lead Ligue 1 and excel in the Champions League.
