His recognition highlights a sensational year and reinforces his place as one of football’s brightest emerging talents.

The 17-year-old is already known worldwide for his dazzling dribbling, explosive pace and sharp vision.

“Having Lamine competing with me is a privilege because he is going to be a high-level player, one of the best,” Raphinha said after the victory over Getafe last season.

“It is an honor and this makes us improve, both me and him. It makes me want to give more as a player and I’m sure Lamine thinks the same. This competition in a team like Barça is good,” he added.
