According to French sources, Lamine Yamal spent hundreds of thousands of euros to organize a luxurious party at a luxury hotel in central Paris, where many football stars, models and famous artists gathered. Many people believe that Yamal and his team were too confident that the 17-year-old prodigy would “make history” by becoming the youngest owner of the Golden Ball.
However, when the results were announced, the name that was called was not Lamine Yamal. The shock spread throughout the auditorium, and his “pre-celebration” party immediately turned into a joke.
Vinícius sarcastically mocked
While Barcelona fans had not yet calmed down, Vinícius Júnior – his arch-rival in Real Madrid – bluntly “added fuel to the fire”.
On social networks, Vinícius posted a meaningful status:
“Some people know how to play football. Others only know how to… organize parties.”
Accompanied by a sarcastic smiley face, the online community exploded.
In just a few minutes, the status line reached hundreds of thousands of likes and shares, becoming a hot topic worldwide. Real Madrid fans applauded in response, while Barca fans were angry, calling Vinícius “a villain who likes to mock other people’s pain”.
The online community was divided
Comments flooded the forums:
“Vinícius is right, football is not measured by lavish parties. Let’s prove it on the pitch.”
“It’s too cruel to mock a 17-year-old boy who just missed the Golden Ball.”
“Lamine Yamal has a whole future ahead of him. One failure does not define a career.”
Some fans even edited photos, combining images of Yamal wearing a crown at… the banquet table instead of the Golden Ball podium, creating a wave of memes that spread across TikTok and Twitter.
From hope to bitterness
Lamine Yamal has been hailed as “the future of world football”, and his inclusion on the Ballon d’Or shortlist at the age of 17 was a miracle. However, his overconfidence and premature celebrations have made him the target of ridicule.
Meanwhile, Vinícius – known for his strong style and fearlessness, both on and off the pitch – has taken the opportunity to “taunt” his opponent, turning Yamal’s defeat into a heavy psychological blow.
What future for the “prodigy”?
Despite being ridiculed, many experts believe that this defeat will become a great lesson for Yamal. A former Barca player commented: “If he wants to get his hands on the Ballon d’Or, Yamal must learn to be humble and patient. Partying does not bring titles.”
The story is spreading like a storm. And if this is the start of an underground war between Vinícius Júnior and Lamine Yamal, the football world will surely witness one of the most fierce and dramatic confrontations of the decade.
