World Sports: The World Footballer will be awarded in January next year, and the national derby is an excellent showcase for Yamal

At 23:15 on the evening of October 26, in the 10th round of La Liga's highlight game, Barcelona challenged Real Madrid away. According to "World Sports News", the World Footballer Award will be awarded in January next year. This game will be an excellent showcase for Barcelona's genius Yamal to compete for the award. He will have a peak showdown with another candidate Mbappe in the national derby.

This 18-year-old Barcelona star has now become the core of the team's offense under Flick's coaching and is also one of the most decisive players in European football in 2025. His performances in La Liga and his key role in winning the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey have seen him remain a contender for individual honours. The selection of this award is decided by voting by the national team head coach, captain and reporters.

Before the World Footballer Award, the La Liga schedule provided Yamal with an excellent showcase. Barcelona will face Real Madrid in El Clasico. At that time, he will face another "World Footballer of the Year" candidate and direct competitor Mbappe at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. If Yamal can perform well on such a highly anticipated stage, his reputation will be further enhanced and he will officially join the ranks of the most hopefuls to win the award.

There are still three months until the award is announced, and everything is still full of variables. Dembélé has just returned from injury, and his absence for several weeks due to injury affected his competitiveness; and Mbappe is also trying to get rid of the sluggish state at the beginning of the year. Yamal is now at the perfect time, ushering in a critical window to reach the peak of personal honors.
