Manchester City midfielder, Rodri is reportedly confident that Barcelona teenage sensation, Lamine Yamal will win the Ballon d’Or one day.
Rodri, who is renowned for his composed manner and acute football acumen, appears to see exceptional potential in the Barcelona youngster.
This is a huge endorsement, particularly from a football player who has achieved the pinnacle of his career.
According to Fabrizio Romano as echoed by Barca Universal, the Manchester City midfielder said, “Lamine Yamal will win a Ballon d’Or, that’s what I said.”
Even though Yamal’s career is just getting started, he has already shown traits that set him apart from other players. Several elite players have taken notice of his skill and vision on the pitch, which is impressive for someone so young.
Given this momentum, Rodri’s conviction that he could win a Ballon d’Or appears to be a well-informed prediction rather than wishful thinking.
“I can’t say if he will win more than one or not, let’s not put too much pressure on him. But he is special. We felt that from the first moment. He must continue, keep going, and be humble,” added Rodri.

Talent by itself rarely results in success in football. Top players frequently stress the need of perseverance, self-control, and a realistic outlook, all of which are essential for a young player to advance in a fiercely competitive sport.
