Barça: Lamine Yamal's surprising confession

Lamine Yamal breaks the silence about his life outside football
At just 18, Lamine Yamal continues to captivate FC Barcelona with both his precocious talent and remarkable maturity. Now a key figure in Hansi Flick’s project, the Catalan winger insists on maintaining a sense of normalcy, deliberately distancing himself from the media frenzy that now shadows his every move.
“I do what all kids my age do: I hang out with my friends, take care of my brother, play PlayStation, go for a walk… things like that.”
For Yamal, it's a way to avoid getting trapped by football 24/7.
He emphasizes the importance of this mental break:
“I try to make the most of my day and, when I’m on the pitch, give it my all. But once I step off, I do the same—disconnecting from football as much as possible.”
An impressively clear-headed philosophy for a player who’s already notched up 15 goals and 12 assists this season. Source: ESPN.
