Ballon d’Or 2025: David Villa names player to win award

David Villa, a former Barcelona player, has shown his belief that Lamine Yamal deserves to win the 2025 Ballon d’Or. The 17-year-old winger has been in great form for Barcelona this season, and Villa feels that his performances make him a strong candidate for the prestigious award.

Speaking at a public event, Villa mentioned that while he thinks Yamal has performed well, there is still some time left in the season. He also admitted that he has never fully believed in the Ballon d’Or as a measure of a player’s success. However, Villa is confident that Yamal will win the award one day in the future.

Yamal is certainly one of the favorites for the Ballon d’Or this year. His contributions on the field have been impressive, and under coach Hansi Flick, he has become a vital player for Barcelona. He has also already helped the team secure the Copa del Rey, further boosting his chances for the Ballon d’Or.

It’s clear that Yamal’s potential is huge, and with the season still ongoing, it will be exciting to see if he can maintain his strong performances and claim the prestigious award in the future.
