Yamal's father: Missing out on Ballon d'Or 'biggest moral damage'

Lamine Yamal 's father, Mounir Nasraou, considers his son missing out on the Ballon d'Or award as "the biggest moral damage done to a human being."

The Barcelona winger came second to Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembélé in the Ballon d'Or voting.

"I think this is the biggest, I won't say theft, but moral damage done to a human being because I believe Lamine Yamal is the best player in the world by far, by a huge margin," Nasraou, who attended Monday's Ballon d'Or gala in Paris, told El Chiringuito TV after the event.

"It's not because he's my son but because he's the best player in the world. I believe there are no rivals. Lamine is Lamine Yamal. Something very strange has happened here. Next year there will be a Spanish Ballon d'Or winner."

Dembélé, 28, scored 35 go
