The day after the 2026 Ballon d'Or ceremony, Yamal shared his thoughts on social media.
Yamal said:
Everything comes in due time. Good things take time. I firmly believe in the path I'm paving. I'm not rushed—I'm full of anticipation, and my heart is incredibly calm because I know my moment will eventually come.
Congratulations to all the award winners. Now my focus returns to what matters most: helping Barcelona reclaim the victories that belong to us.
