Lamine Yamal, the 18-year-old Barcelona player, has had an intense year full of achievements. His relationship with singer Nicki Nicole, its end, and his performance on the field have earned him praise and comments from fans who say he is returning to his “prime.”
On December 5, he received the Best Player of the Month award for November from Pedri, highlighting his impact from the very first game and the consistency he showed throughout the month.
But beyond the accolades, Lamine shared in a TikTok video the most treasured item he has at home. It is not a jersey or a trophy, but none other than the ball with which he scored a memorable goal against France on July 9, 2024, when he was just 16 years old.
A worthy place for a ball?
What caught the most attention was where he keeps it. He stores it inside his Adidas box with his name on it, far from display cases or shelves, a keepsake that holds intimate and very personal value for him.
This detail shows that beyond awards and everything that comes with being a professional footballer, Lamine deeply values his personal memories, and that ball symbolizes something very precious for his career and his story.
