The Golden Boy award, for which MARCA is a judge, has become a real benchmark in the world of football.
This week, the names of the one hundred nominees for the chance to be proclaimed the best young footballer in the world under the age of 21 were announced.
Tuttosport opened the website for fans from all over the world to vote for their favourites and the response was immediate.
Some 493,000 votes from all over the world came in over the space of two days to proclaim a cyber podium, with Ecuador's Piero Hincapie at the top of the list. The South American nation's votes for the Bayer Leverkusen player have propelled him to the first position, which is only a reference, as the winner of the award has not yet been chosen.
Eduardo Camavinga came second, followed by Gavi.
The result, as we said, only serves as a reference and to take a prize called Web, as the name of the winner still has to overcome different steps before reaching its final stage and especially its final decision after the vote of 30 journalists from around the world. The presence of the Bayer Leverkusen defender, despite his worth, has had a lot to do with the reaction of football fans in Ecuador. The attraction effect worked.
The award has served to recognise emerging stars such as Leo Messi, Paul Pogba, Matthijs De Ligt, Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland and Pedri, the latest winner. The list of 100 candidates will be reduced to 20 finalists. The 20th edition of the Golden Boy is already underway and everything points to a fight between Camavinga and Gavi. The award used to be presented in December, but the World Cup in Qatar has brought the deadlines forward and in 2022, the gala will take place in Turin on 15 October.

If the award is warming the bench then give it to camavinga but if it is for actual performance then there's only one guy who bullied real Madrid players in el classico despite being only 17

give it to the owner...the wonderkid who gave Madrid another dimension in midfield, Madrid can remove Kross and casemiro easily and still win the game as far as camavinga is present in the field,he was sub on and anchored the midfield in a big matches against mighty clubs like PSG, Chelsea Man City and Liverpool, camavinga is gavi and pedri in one body.

El Classico huh [Crylaugh][Crylaugh]. Fake pictures, Benzema didn’t play the Classico. We’re talking of a youngster who came on to champions league scene to change the game, take control of the midfield against PSG, Chelsea, Man City not to talk of brilliant performances against Sevilla amongst top la liga teams. Where was Garvi when Barca was crumbling from UCL group stages to Europa elimination. He went misses even against Small la liga teams like Bilbao n Villareal. Get lost
