Barcelona star Lamine Yamal was known in the past for pulling some rather ruthless pranks on those around him. One such story is recounted in the book released on June 18, “Lamine Yamal. The story of the boy who dreamed of Camp Nou,” as referenced by the Sportowe Fakty website.
It turns out that in 2023, during a training camp with Spain's U-17 squad in Algarve, Yamal, along with teammates Daniel Muñoz and Jesús Fortea, pulled a reckless and quite harsh prank on the team psychologist.
The boys decided to have some fun with prank calls, phoned the woman from a hidden number, and began threatening her. The frightened psychologist ended up reporting the incident to the police, and the teenagers were quickly found out. Yamal's punishment was a four-match suspension from squad.
It's worth noting that on July 13, Lamine Yamal will celebrate his 18th birthday. Despite his young age, the footballer is already a regular starter for both Barcelona and the Spanish national team. Yamal has already won La Liga and is also a 2024 European champion.
