Lamine Yamal is with other Spanish representatives in Germany. At 16 years and 11 months, he became the youngest debutant in the history of the European Championships. Lamine Yamal is accompanied by his father, who supported his son in the stadium during the 4-1 victory against Georgia.
Mounir Nasraoui, Lamine Yamal's father, gained popularity on Instagram. His account is followed by 116,000 people, mainly because he shares photos with the FC Barcelona and Spain national team players. The Moroccan enjoys the spotlight of the young athlete's fame.
Father and son have a good rapport. They talk not only about football but also about personal matters. Mounir Nasraoui convinced his son to marry the woman he loves before his 26th birthday. The young footballer does not intend to defy his father's advice.
I plan to get married when I turn 26 years old. I am sure of it. Recently, a girl approached me in the elevator, asked for a photo, and then asked for my phone number - we read the youthful statement of Lamine Yamal on the portal nogomania.com.
Mounir Nasraoui likely relies on his own experiences because he faced adulthood early. At 32, he was a teenager when Lamine was born. The Moroccan and his wife, Sheila Ebana, also have two more children—the FC Barcelona footballer has a younger brother and sister.
For now, Lamine Yamal is focusing on his development in adult football and his education. As a teenager, he could become a European champion. Spain is doing well in the tournament at the German stadiums and will play against Germany in the highly anticipated quarter-final.
