Lamine Yamal's "Extravagant" Ballon d'Or Celebration Plans

Barcelona's Spanish wonderkid Lamine Yamal's preparing in style for the 2025 Ballon d’or ceremony where he's among the shortlisted candidates for football's most prestigious individual prize.

Star studded ceremony in Paris

The event will take place tomorrow, Monday 22 September at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris.

Paris Saint Germain's Ousmane Dembele leads the race for the award with Yamal and his Barca teammate Raphinha also strong contenders.

Yamal's special plans

According to Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo, Yamal will be accompanied by 20 family members, all dressed in outfits designed by Dolce & Gabbana.

If he wins, the 17 year old winger has already planned private celebration in Paris.

Numbers that impress

Yamal enjoyed remarkable 2024 /25 season with Barcelona featuring in 55 matches, scoring 18 goal & delivering 25 assist.

His contributions were key in securing both La liga and the Copa del Rey for the Catalan giants.

Battle with Dembele

Despite Yamal’s glittering campaign, early signals point to Dembele as the frontrunner. Still Yamal’s presence at the ceremony with his family underlines ambition to claim football's top honor.
