When Alvaro Morata stole a jersey from Lamine Yamal

Last summer, Alvaro Morata and Lamine Yamal both won Euro 2024 with La Roja. In a long video with journalist and YouTuber Rodrigo Fáez, while he was in a football shirt store and had just passed in front of the Barça starlet’s jersey, Morata revealed a rather funny anecdote concerning the young Catalan.

“I have one of his first jerseys. Besides, I took it without asking. I stole it, yes. After one of his first matches, I knew what he was going to become, I took his jersey. It was one of the jerseys that the stewards have extra for matches, I took it and said “I’m keeping this one”. I could tell he was different just by seeing him in training, even before he started with the national team.”confided the attacker. Visionary.
