Barcelona coach Hansi Flick says he will support teenage winger Lamine Yamal’s Ballon d’Or bid. Speaking to reporters, Flick praises Yamal for being “honest” and displaying “self-confidence,” adding that the winger’s qualities show in how he performs, including at the start of the season.
Both outlets report that Flick frames his support around Yamal’s attitude and presence on and off the pitch. While the sources differ slightly in wording—one emphasizes Yamal’s honesty and early-season form, the other highlights his confidence “on and off the pitch”—they present the same core message: Flick believes Yamal has the mindset and performances to be considered for the award.
The coverage is focused on Flick’s public comments rather than on any official Ballon d’Or nomination details, reaction from Yamal or Barcelona leadership, or broader competition for the prize.
