The best Kopa celebration

The preview of the FC Barcelona-Real Sociedad match of matchday 7 of LaLiga EA Sports 2025/26 had Lamine Yamal as the main protagonist. The player from Mataró received medical clearance before the match and, in his return with Hansi Flick's team, offered his second Kopa Trophy to the Barça fans at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.

The 18-year-old player greeted the Montjuïc crowd by raising the award granted by 'France Football'. Lamine, second in the voting for the 2025 Ballon d'Or, re-edited the award obtained last year, being the first footballer to revalidate the distinction awarded by the French magazine since 2018.
