By the way, we had the easiest path in the Champions League. What a formidable force we faced in the Champions League. Only against Bayern in the group stage.
Even Inter, in my opinion, wasn't a formidable force, as we saw in the final. But we still managed to lose to them. And it wasn't just the result; we conceded a monstrous number of chances in front of our goal.

Explain?
Yamal was most definitely not the reason, if rest of the team was on his level we'd crush Inter 15-0

Generally but being the best player in a semifinal loss against a team that gets smashed 5-0 in the final isn't that remarkable in itself.
If Barca had gotten a tough run to the semis and Yamal had delivered top performances against the best teams en route, I think he'd have a stronger case, but he wasn't Barca's best player in the league and being the best player on a Benfica-Dortmund-Inter run to the semis probably isn't enough.

You are talking collective again. This is supposed to be an individual award. I don't know why collective factors are considered more than individual

You're welcome
You love to reduce stuff when it works in ur favour.
He said he played with big players and that he learned a lot and it was his dream club.
I'm not saying Yamal was the reason. But his poor play without the ball was one of the reasons, for example, why Inter often easily broke our pressing. He was also quite lazy in returning back during Inter's positional attacks.

Lamine should have time wasted in the corner
PSG wouldn't have been as successful collectively if Dembélé had played like Lamine Yamal off the ball.
Is that enough?

If he'd have held onto the ball in that last minute instead of shooting, Barca might be European champions right now.
But he was a 17 year old kid and nothing to blame there. He will learn. Just saying it's not like he didn't make mistakes.
he or Dembele is a worthy winner.

It's not about no damn corner lol. 
Individual awards only have one real merit. To make the players work harder and harder to get their team to the top.
Why the hell would people want Yamal to win some luxury posh award without Barca winning the CL first beats me. Fecked up.

One of the key elements of PSG's success was pressing.
Who was the pressing trigger in this system? That's right. Dembélé. He was the one who directed the movement and dynamics of PSG's pressing.
It's worth remembering that Dembélé also had an outstanding season on the ball – not only in terms of goals and assists, but also in terms of more advanced metrics.

Yamal is just fine off the ball brother
And on the ball he is dimensions above Dembele
So no doubt as to who is the better player
