Lamine Yamal has been nominated not only for the Ballon d’or but also the Kopa Trophy, which is awarded to the best player under 21. Similarly, Emiliano Martinez is the only goalkeeper among the 30 players, having been nominated for the Yachine Trophy as well.

With both Messi and Ronaldo out of the running, it will be interesting to see who wins the award this time around. Jude Bellingham has a strong claim to the award, but Rodri or Vinicius Jr could also be voted the best player for the 23-24 season.
