Lamine Yamal's Ballon d'Or disappointment seems to only be spurring him on.

Fresh from finishing behind winner Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappé, the Barcelona forward has ramped up an already strong case to become the award's next recipient.

It took Yamal just eight minutes to open the scoring for Hansi Flick's side in their latest Champions League meeting against Aston Villa on Tuesday evening.

The World Cup winner punished João Gomes' undercooked pass across the face of goal by unleashing a clinical strike to spark the celebrations across Camp Nou.

It was a moment to for the Blaugrana to savour, not least as Yamal has confirmed himself as the most prolific teenager in the history of Europe's elite club competition.

If he can help inspire Barça to a sixth Champions League at the end of this season, there really will be no stopping him heading into next year's Ballon d'Or vote!
