The illustrious Barcelona sensation, Lamine Yamal, was bestowed the prestigious honor of Best-Emerging Player for the year 2024 at the Globe Soccer Awards ceremony, held in the opulent city of Dubai on Friday.
This latest accolade serves as a testament to Yamal’s phenomenal ascendancy, having already garnered the coveted Golden Boy award and the revered Kopa Trophy in recognition of his truly spectacular performance throughout the year 2024.
As Yamal took to the podium to address the distinguished gathering at the Dubai ceremony, he expressed his profound gratitude and pride.
The rising star said: “Hello everyone! I wanted to thank Globe Soccer for the award and especially my family who has come here.”
“The only one missing is my father, who is at home, and I love him very much. My mother, my little brother, also my club, Barça, obviously, with which I’ve been able to start my first season.”
“Obviously, I won’t forget the national team, with which I was able to win the Euro and to all the staff, the coaches, to Hansi, Luis de la Fuente, and Xavi. And thank you all very much. Good night. Shukran.”
