Barcelona coach Hansi Flick recently spoke about his star player, Lamine Yamal. He praised the young athlete for his impressive attitude.
The player recently missed out on the top honor at the Ballon d'Or ceremony. He finished in third place during the final voting.
Harry Kane received the prestigious award this year. Kylian Mbappe secured the second position ahead of the young winger.
Meanwhile, Flick noted that Yamal handled the news with great maturity. He said the teenager reacted very well to the results.
The nineteen-year-old winger enjoyed a successful season with his club. He helped Barcelona win the La Liga title recently.
Also, the talented player performed exceptionally well on the international stage. He helped Spain lift the World Cup trophy.
Despite these major achievements, voters chose other players for the top prize. This outcome disappointed many fans of the young star.
However, Flick remains impressed by the player's focus and drive. He highlighted the winger's strong mentality during a recent press conference.
The coach expects more great things from him in the future. He believes the player will continue to improve his game.
Finally, Yamal shows no signs of slowing down after this setback. He remains a key part of the Barcelona squad today.
