At just 18 years old, Barcelona’s prodigy Lamine Yamal shines on the pitch while insisting on an ordinary teenage life to keep his balance away from football.
At just 18, Lamine Yamal is emerging as one of Barcelona’s breakout stars under Hansi Flick. But the Spanish winger is not defined only by his performances on the pitch — with 15 goals and 12 assists already this season — but also by his ability to manage his life off the pitch.
In an interview with ESPN, Yamal explained that he strives to remain a “normal” teenager, spending time with his friends, taking care of his younger brother, playing PlayStation, or going for a walk. Disconnecting from football is, according to him, essential to preserve his mental balance. He also shares what his day would have been like without fame: breakfast on a terrace, a match in a park, a bike or scooter ride, and childhood games like Pokémon cards. Between maturity and simplicity, Yamal is forging his path, combining sporting brilliance with a protected personal life.
