The successful play of "Barcelona" and the team's wonderkid Lamine Yamal is improving the winger's chances of winning the prestigious trophy – the "Ballon d'Or".

As reported by "Mundo Deportivo", after the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals held this week, the European champion has risen in the players' rankings.

According to the publication, L. Yamal now leaves behind the disappointing representatives of Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius, behind him.

However, the young talent will need to put in much more effort to surpass his two main competitors – his teammate Raphinha and PSG talent Ousmane Dembele.

In addition to the mentioned players, the rankings also include the names of Roberto Lewandowski, Pedri, and Lautaro Martinez.
