In an interview with Mundo Deportivothe president of Barça, Joan Laporta, wanted to defend his nugget, Lamine Yamal, faced with the criticisms aroused by the party organized for his 18th anniversary. The president of FC Barcelona recalled that this celebration, although very publicized, was strictly in the private sphere. “It was an extraordinary party, they were very elegant and had fun”he said, adding that he regretted not having attended there himself. For Laporta, the presence of influencers, artists and celebrities of the digital world is not condemnable: “It is simply the current youth”.
Beyond the event itself, the 63-year-old man praised the professional behavior of the new number 10 Blaugrana, who presented himself in training the next day, ready to start the summer preparation. The Catalan leader wanted to underline the commitment and rigor of Lamine Yamal on a daily basis, ensuring that he had nothing to blame him, on the contrary. A clear way to publicly support his young prodigy, already very media exposed despite his young age. Yamal already seems ready to start exercise 2025-2026.
