Lamine Yamal’s father denounced Ballon D’Or Chief for sniffing his son and handing over the prestigious award to Oousmane Dembele. PSG was the first to win the award after helping the French giants win the Champions League last season. Yamal enjoyed a great campaign with Barcelona and finished in second place.
Yamal’s father, Moonir Nasrawi, seemed to accept his defeat by telling the media outside the venue that “next year will be ours.” However, in another interview with Spanish outlet El Chingate, he appeared to suggest that cheating had been committed. He insisted that Yamal must have happened to not win the Barondoor last night.
“I’m not saying it was a robbery, but it’s a moral prejudice against humans because I think Ramin Yamal is the best player in the world, very far away,” Nasrawi said.
“Not because he is my son, not because he is the best player in the world. He has no rivals. It’s Raminyarmal. Something very strange happened here.”
Meanwhile, it has been revealed by French football editor-in-chief Vincent Garcia that Dembele has acquired Baron de Ort with a significant margin.

“There were no actual contests. Osmane won very comfortably,” he said. He then added that votes on all continents are heavily supported by the French. The full vote breakdown will be made public by French Football this weekend.
Dembele accepted Barondoor on stage and shed tears in tears, thanking his family and teammates for supporting his career.
Speaking to the crowd, he said: “What I just experienced is exceptional and I have no words about it, what happened in PSG. I feel a bit stressed. It’s not easy to win this trophy and present to me by the football legend Ronaldinho.
“I want to thank PSG for coming to pick me up in 2023. It’s an incredible family. President Nasser (Al Keraifi) is like a father to me. I also want to thank me, all my teammates, all of my staff and coaches.
“We won virtually everything together. You supported me in good times and difficult times. These individual trophies are collectively won by our team.”
After the ceremony, Dembele told Reuters: “I didn’t want to cry, but as soon as I started talking about my family, the people who were there for me, it showed up and I couldn’t hold it back.”
