Lamine Jamal follows in Messi's footsteps with the best award in Barcelona
Young star Lamine Jamal has been awarded the 'Aldo Rovera' trophy as Barcelona's best player for the 2024-2025 season.
Lamine Jamal, at just 18 years old, has been recognized as Barcelona's best player for the second consecutive year, receiving the 'Aldo Rovera' award. This accolade not only solidifies his status as a rising star within the club but also establishes him as a key player in the team's future, reminiscent of Lionel Messi's impact when he was a burgeoning talent two decades ago. Jamal's consistency and remarkable contributions to the team's performance have garnered him recognition from sports journalists and media representatives in Catalonia.
The award, which commemorates the late Aldo Rovera, founder Josep Luis Rovera's son, expresses the emotional bond between the player and the club. This is the 16th iteration of the ceremony, with Jamal's win standing out as he becomes the first teenager to secure the honor for two consecutive years, surpassing even Messi's own achievements at that age. His ability to lead the attack during challenging moments has been pivotal for Barcelona, highlighting his importance to the team's present and future.
