The spirit of camaraderie reigns at FC Barcelona, proof of which is the gift sent by Raphinha to his young teammate Lamine Yamal, recently awarded the 2024 Kopa Trophy as best prospect of last season. At just 17 years old, Lamine Yamal was awarded his title during the Ballon d'Or ceremony in Paris, recognizing the best player under 21 years old.
A distinction which crowns an exceptional year for the Barcelona prodigy, who has established himself as one of the most promising revelations in world football.
A golden iPhone from Raphinha to Lamine Yamal
To celebrate this recognition, Raphinha gave her young teammate a personalized gold iPhone from the company idesgin gold. A gift that goes beyond its material value, symbolizing the respect and encouragement of an experienced player towards an emerging talent. The name of the Spanish prodigy and his number on the jersey are engraved on the device. The 19. Raphinha also has his own version which incorporates his personal logo.
“It's a privilege to have Lamine as a competitor because he is going to become a very high level player, one of the best,” Raphinha said after a victory against Getafe. “This competition within a club like Barça is beneficial, it pushes us both to surpass ourselves,” he added.
Winner against proven talents like Pau Cubarsi, Arda Güler, Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo, Yamal confirms his status as a nugget. His exceptional technical qualities, his dazzling speed and his vision of the game already make him a feared player, as demonstrated by his remarkable performance against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
