Lamine Yamal has been crowned the 2025 KOPA Trophy winner, and he’s done what no player ever has — win it back-to-back. At just 18 years old, the Spanish forward continues to dazzle and cement his place among the game’s brightest young talents.
Yamal, already well known for his flair, speed, and fearless dribbling, beat stiff competition from fellow young stars across the continent at the prestigious KOPA Trophy selection. His performance over the past season — both with his club and on the international stage — clearly impressed the jury, making him a deserving winner once again.
This marks a milestone not just for Yamal’s career, but for KOPA Trophy history. No player before him has managed to hold onto the title for two consecutive years. It’s a testament to his consistency, maturity, and ability to deliver under pressure — rare for someone so young.
For Spain and Yamal himself, this win is more than just an accolade — it’s a signal of what’s to come. Expect big things.
