There’s always plenty of buzz around Lamine Yamal, who has quickly become a true football sensation — and now another surprising story has emerged.
Details: It has been revealed that Lamine Yamal’s father, aged 35, is set to marry a 23-year-old woman — meaning she is only five years older than Lamine himself.
Earlier, we reported that Lamine Yamal scored one of Barcelona’s three goals in their match against Club Brugge. He has now been involved in 13 of Barça’s Champions League goals — the highest tally ever recorded by a player under the age of 18.
Reminder: The game with Bruges ended in a 3:3 draw. It wasn’t the only controversial incident of the night — the referees had earlier overturned a penalty awarded against Barcelona.
