Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal has reacted on social media after finishing third in the 2026 Ballon d’Or, behind Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane and Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappé, at a ceremony held at the London Palladium on Monday, 26 October.
Yamal, who turned 19 in July, had been among the favourites after winning the World Cup with Spain and La Liga with Barcelona. He did not speak on the night, and waited until the following day to respond with a post on his own Instagram account, alongside photographs from the gala.
