Ousmane Dembélé (28) beat Lamine Yamal (18) to win the first Ballon d’Or of his career earlier this week. Whilst the latter congratulated the Paris Saint-Germain forward for the achievement, his father “mocked” the Ballon d’Or winner during Monday night’s ceremony in Paris, according to a report from L’Équipe.
Dembélé won the award following an excellent year both individually and collectively. His 35 goals and 16 assists saw Paris Saint-Germain win their first UEFA Champions League title, whilst in that time, Les Parisiens also won Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, the Trophée des Champions, and the UEFA Super Cup, whilst also getting to the final of the FIFA Club World Cup, before losing to Chelsea.
However, Yamal’s father, Mounir Nasraoui, believes that his son should have won the award, as he made clear during an interview with El Chiringuito after the ceremony. “I wouldn’t say [it was a] robbery, but a moral prejudice to a human being because I think Lamine Yamal is the best player in the world, by far… by very far,” he began in an interview transcribed by RMC Sport.
He added, “It isn’t because he is my son that he is the best player in the world; he doesn’t have a rival. It’s Lamine Yamal. Something very strange happened here.”
In addition, L’Équipe have now revealed that Nasraoui mocked Dembélé for the level that he has shown over the past months, relative to that of Yamal.

Dembele is better in terms of what he led PSG to win far surpasses Yamal. Besides, Yamal coming above Salah is a plus and victory for him. Don't destroy your son career. There are too many current players by far better than him. keep quiet and be respectful.

This is unprofessional from Yamal and his family. First things first Dembele was the most deserving ballon d'or candidate and won rightly so. So a big congrats to Dembele. The truth is Yamal's family must be happy that he finished 2nd although Raphinha was more deserving of 2nd spot( Thanks to Yamal's PR). This behaviour shows he is bad losser. No doubt Yamal is talented but the hype surrounding him is even greater. Mbappe won World Cup when he was 19. Reached the next WC final by carrying the nation, Got France backed into the contest when everyone though Argentina are running away with the title. Being talented and achieving something are two completely different things. Plus Yamal was not at the Club WC and Dembele was at the Club WC final. Dembele won treble including UCL. And coming to individual stats Dembele has far better numbers than Yamal, even Raphinha had better numbers than Yamal. If Yamal cannot accept defeat after losing the Ballon d'or then man I am not sure that this is a the 18 year old young people must look up to.

a disgrace. glazing yamal for being a "wonder kid" over a man who actually fought tooth and nail for his flowers and didn't get it. had the PR focused on Raphina, he could have actually won the b'dor even though Dembele had the UCL on his side. I doubt we would bat an eye if either one had won it but Yamal wasn't even supposed to be in the top 5 imo. how many wonder kids have faded into history. focus on your game and development and advise your dad to respect the competition. you're an adult now.

This boy may be talented, but overhyped. He has the ego of Messi, whereas his ability is that of Garnacho. He and his dad should save us all these social media antics and show workings on the field of play. A one season wonder wants to deafen us with noise and useless Barca fans are here twerking to the sound.

Finally a Barca fan that states the fact!! Raphinha should be between first or second. And there are few more players that could arguably be ahead of Yamal but then he should see this as a victory. The father should be proud and not try to damage his son’s career. Sometimes talent is not always enough to keep you at the highest table.

It is his father opinion and not the boy. Lamine Yamal already congratulated Dembele.
