"This is inflicting moral harm on a person" - Lamine Yamal's father on Dembélé's Ballon d'Or win

He believes his son is far superior.

Details: Immediately after the Ballon d'Or ceremony, where PSG's Ousmane Dembélé claimed victory, the father of another contender, 18-year-old Lamine Yamal, gave a brief phone interview to El Chiringuito, sharing his thoughts and emotions about the result:

"I believe Lamine Yamal is the best player in the world, by a huge margin. Not just because he's my son, but because he truly is the best in the world. I think he has no rivals. I won't call it theft, but this is the greatest... I won't say theft, but it's a moral blow to a person. Lamine is Lamine Yamal, and we have to say that something very strange happened here," said Munir Nasraoui.
