Lamine Yamal’s father, Mounir Nasraoui, has publicly acknowledged his support for Real Madrid, even as his son continues to shine at FC Barcelona.
Nasraoui’s admission came after Yamal’s impressive performance in Barcelona’s 3-2 Copa del Rey final victory over Real Madrid on Saturday, where he contributed two assists.
Nasraoui has expressed pride in his son’s achievements, despite his own allegiance to Barcelona’s arch-rivals.
In an interview with Jijantes, Nasraoui remarked, “Even if he was a Real Madrid fan, I don’t give a damn! Barça is the one who feeds me.”
He also shared a heartfelt moment from Yamal’s birth, stating, “When Lamine was born, the first second I held him, I told him you’re going to be the best player in the world.”
Lamine Yamal, who is of Moroccan and Equatorial Guinean descent, has quickly risen to prominence in Spanish football.
At just 17 years old, he has become a key player for Barcelona, known for his exceptional skills and maturity on the field.
His performance in the Copa del Rey final, where he assisted both of Barcelona’s goals, was instrumental in securing the team’s 32nd title in the competition.
Despite his father’s Real Madrid fandom, Yamal’s commitment to Barcelona remains unwavering.
His recent performances continue to solidify his reputation as one of the brightest young talents in European football.
