Barcelona duo Lamine Yamal and Alejandro Balde make final Golden Boy shortlist

Barcelona duo Lamine Yamal and Alejandro Balde have made it onto the final shortlist for the 2023 Golden Boy Award.

The list has now been whittled down to the top 25 names ahead of the final announcement in December.

Balde and Yamal both make the list and will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Pedri and Gavi who have won the award for the last two years.

In case you’re wondering why Gavi isn’t on the list it’s because he won it last year and so can’t be included this time around.
