Complete guide to Ballon d’Or results: Every Spanish Football Placing

The Ballon d’Or gala took place on Monday night in the Teatre du Chatelet, with all eyes on Lamine Yamal from a Spanish perspective, as he sought to become the youngest ever winner of the award. There were plenty of La Liga stars involved though throughout the rankings.

The manager of year in the women’s game was Sarina Wiegman, who masterminded England’s Euros final victory over Spain this past summer, while the men’s award was handed to Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique. The former Barcelona man was just the second manager to win the Champions League with a French side.

Kopa Trophy

Barcelona were highly successful in the Kopa trophy, awarded to the best young player of the year. Lamine Yamal won the award for a second year running in the men’s section, while his women’s counterpart Vicky Lopez won it after a successful year with the Blaugrana and Spain. She beat out Real Madrid’s Linda Caicedo, who finished second.
