Yamal's unexpected reaction after losing the Golden Ball to Dembele

(Dan Tri) - After Dembele was named in the Golden Ball award, the camera lens turned to Yamal's face.

Last night, Dembele beat his strong rival Yamal to win the Golden Ball for the first time in his career. Meanwhile, Yamal was only consoled with the Kopa Trophy (for the best U21 player) and won the Silver Ball.

This was the year that Yamal was highly expected to win the Golden Ball after his great contributions to Barcelona and the Spanish national team. However, he still had to accept second place behind Dembele.

At the moment the organizers announced Dembele as the winner of the Golden Ball, the camera lens turned to Yamal. Although the player's face still had a bit of regret, the 18-year-old prodigy still smiled, clapped his hands in congratulations and even gave Dembele a warm hug. That showed Yamal's maturity.

Despite missing out on the Ballon d'Or, Yamal still set a record by becoming the first player to win the Kopa Trophy for the second consecutive time. Speaking on stage, the young Spanish striker showed his charisma.

“I don’t know if I’m ready for the big prize,” he declared loudly. “Perhaps we’ll see each other here many years from now.”

The above message shows Yamal's great determination to hunt for the Golden Ball in the future. To be fair, with his great mark in the last season, he completely deserves to be honored as the Golden Ball this year.

In 55 appearances in all competitions for Barcelona last season, the striker scored 18 goals and provided 25 assists, helping Los Blaugrana win the domestic treble of La Liga, the Spanish King's Cup and the Spanish Super Cup. Yamal also helped Spain finish runners-up in the Nations League.

Currently, the record for the youngest player to win the Ballon d'Or belongs to former Brazilian player Ronaldo at 21 years and 3 months. Yamal still has many opportunities to break this record.
