He Lamine Yamal impact crosses borders. He Canterano of the FC Barcelona and new absolute international for Spain at the age of 16 is the great novelty in the update of the Golden Boy listaward sponsored by Tuttosport who chooses the best under-21 footballer. Two young talents from Barça were already in the relationship, such as Alejandro Balde and Gaviprecisely the last winner of this award that another culé footballer, Pedri, won.
Lamine Yamal has entered strongly among the 100 nominees for the Golden Boy in this award that has been gaining prestige since its establishment in 2003.
Based on the statistical analysis of Football BenchMark, a data platform that has valued Yamal’s spectacular jump to the elite, the international prestige of Barça’s young footballers is once again evident. Undoubtedly, the great blow in the history of La Masia was the famous photo of Leo Messi, Andrés Iniesta and Xavi Hernández on the podium for the 2010 Ballon d’Or.
Culé’s presence in the Golden Boy, which recognizes the best footballer under 21 in European football, is already a tradition. The midfielder Gavi is the current Golden Boy and Pedri who raised it in 2021. Curiously, the Portuguese striker Joao Félix, now on loan from Atlético Madrid to Barça, also has it in their showcases.

Gavi, after turning 100 games in the Barça shirt against Osasuna at the age of 19, continues to accumulate experience since his debut with the culé first team on August 29, 2021. His challenge would be to revalidate the election as the best Under-21, a milestone unprecedented in the history of the Golden Buy, although it will not be easy at all due to the appearance of the 20-year-old Englishman Jude Bellingham, for whom Real Madrid paid 103 million euros after 30 in variables this summer to Borussia Dortmund.
Gavi currently occupies the fourth position on this list, being the best positioned Barça player. In sixth place is the full-back Balde, a 19-year-old starter for Xavi Hernández’s Barça since last season.
234 minutes in the First Division, spread over four games, and a triumphant staging at the Gamper have been enough for Lamine Yamal to attract the attention of European analysts.
