The Barcelona player confessed that he found out the news in the lift with Nico Williams: "We were in the lift with Nico. First he came out and then me. I have no chance of winning the Ballon d'Or. I imagine that those at Madrid will appreciate me for the national team".
Lamine Yamal recalled the Euro celebrations: "All the families came down and we spent an hour on the pitch. In the dressing room it was crazy.
