While he's already in the running for the 2025 Ballon d'Or, Lamine Yamal has his eyes on the 2026 edition as well. The Spaniard wants to be the overwhelming favorite for the individual accolade, leaving no room for debate. According to Mundo Deportivo this Monday, Yamal is approaching this season with sky-high ambitions.

The young Spanish sensation wants to become the "player who rules the world of football". That journey starts with a new shirt number—10—the same legendary number once worn by Lionel Messi. The La Masia prodigy also wants to find the back of the net more often, stepping up to take free-kicks and penalties.
