Lamine Yamal Calmly Awaits Ballon d'Or Ceremony, Fully Prepared for Football’s Biggest Night – Reports Mundo Deportivo

As the 2025 Ballon d'Or ceremony approaches, FC Barcelona’s teenage prodigy Lamine Yamal is ready to grace the red carpet once again, according to Mundo Deportivo. This will mark his second appearance at the prestigious gala, following his debut at the Théâtre du Châtelet last year.

This year, Yamal will attend the event accompanied by a 20-person entourage, mostly made up of close family members — a clear reflection of the strong support system around him.

While Paris Saint-Germain’s Ousmane Dembélé remains the frontrunner for the award, Yamal has completed every detail of his preparations with poise. Notably, the entire Yamal family will be dressed in custom-made outfits by Dolce & Gabbana, underscoring both the grandeur of the occasion and the exceptional media buzz surrounding the young star — whose spotlight even outshines many fellow nominees.

Should Yamal pull off a surprise win, a private celebration party is reportedly planned in Paris. However, given the current momentum favoring Dembélé, the Yamal camp remains cautious, focusing instead on enjoying the moment.

PSG and club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi are throwing full institutional support behind Dembélé, who could become the first French Ballon d’Or winner in the club’s history. In contrast, Barcelona has chosen to maintain neutrality regarding their nominees, opting not to campaign overtly for any specific player.

Despite the glittering attention, Yamal remains composed. Known for his flamboyant, carefree style on and off the pitch, he is choosing to embrace this milestone evening with humility and respect — qualities that will no doubt make him one of the evening’s central figures, regardless of the final result.
