While he is regularly seen with a bandage on his hand during meetings with Barça and the Spanish selection, Lamine Yamal has finally explained the origin of this habit. And the reason is unexpected to say the least. The 18-year-old prodigy revealed that it all started during a game of video games… “While playing the Play, I punched the television. From there, I bandaged my hand and it looked great, like I was Karim Benzema.”he said with humor on his channel YouTube.
Since then, this accessory has become a real trademark for the FC Barcelona winger. If several Barça players, such as Robert Lewandowski, Gavi and Raphinha have also been seen with bandages on their hands in recent seasons, Lamine Yamal’s explanation is much more surprising. An anecdote which once again illustrates the spontaneity of the young 18-year-old Spanish international, already considered one of the faces of world football.
