Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal has on Tuesday seen his endeavours across the length of the season aptly recognised.
This comes amid confirmation that the 16-year-old has been voted the La Liga U23 Player of the Season.
Lamine, for his part, has of course enjoyed nothing short of an explosion onto the world stage over the course of the last nine months.
As much comes after his increasingly eye-catching performances at youth level with Barcelona culminated in a call-up to Xavi’s first-team ranks.
And the Spaniard has not looked back since…
Lamine, all told, racked up a whopping 50 appearances in Blaugrana colours in 2023/24.
This included 37 in the league (22 starts), giving rise to an altogether impressive haul of five goals, and eight assists.
End production aside, though, the youngster’s all-round brilliance on the right flank proved nothing short of a sight to behold, with his touch, pace, close control and mazy dribbling all befitting of a player much his senior.
In turn, on Tuesday, it should come as little surprise to hear of Lamine’s excellence being rewarded.
As per a release across the federation’s official social media platforms, the gifted winger has been voted La Liga U23 Player of the Season:
