I hope Lamine Yamal wins Ballon d’Or award – Spanish-Ghana attacker Nico Williams

Speaking after the game, the Athletic Bilbao attacker expressed his admiration for his close friend, saying, “I hope Yamal continues to work with the same humility he has always shown, and I hope he wins the Ballon d’Or. He truly deserves it,” he told Teledeport.

Although Spain conceded a series of goals in the final minutes that narrowed the gap, Nico Williams felt the victory was well deserved.

“We have a great group, and we’re happy to be scoring goals, creating chances, and contributing to the team,” Nico added, speaking about the team’s strength.

“We are playing at a high level, whether it’s me, Lamine Yamal, Oyarzabal, or the rest of my teammates. We hope to win the title in the final,” he added.

Williams concluded his remarks by referring to his first goal of the match, which came thanks to his coordination with teammate Oyarzabal, saying, “We were talking before the match about those moves, and he told me to stay close to him in certain situations. He’s a very intelligent player, and he passed me the ball perfectly, and all I had to do was score.”

Spain will face Portugal in the finals on Sunday at the Allianz Arena.
