Barcelona superkid Lamine Yamal says he's not thinking about this year's Ballon d'Or.
Yamal, after helping Barca to a domestic Treble, is a strong candidate for the award, even at 17 years of age.

After his brace in Spain's dramatic 5-4 Nations League semifinal win against France, Yamal said: "In the end, it's a great national team, they are world-class players and they make you suffer.
"The goal in the 60th minute was very important, but they are players who make you suffer."
On the Ballon d'Or, he added: "I always tell my mother, it's better to speak on the pitch. That's what motivates me to play football, that's why I get up in the morning.
"(Ousmane) Dembélé is a great player, but we're in the final."
For many, France star Dembele is the favourite for the Ballon d'Or after helping PSG win the Champions League this season.
