Lamine Yamal’s Father In Stable Condition After Being Stabbed Multiple Times

Spanish national TV broadcaster TVE reported that Mounir Nasraoui, the father of Barcelona and Spain star winger Lamine Yamal, is in a ‘serious but stable’ condition after being stabbed late on Wednesday in a car park in the northeastern Spanish town of Mataro.

Catalan police have confirmed three people were arrested on Wednesday and a fourth suspect was detained on Thursday morning.

Earlier in the day, Mr Nasraoui was said to have had an argument with a group of people he had encountered while walking his dog, Spanish newspaper El Pais reported.

Hours later, he was approached by the same group in a car park and stabbed “multiple times”.

The motivation for the stabbing is currently unknown.

A report on sports website Relevo said Mr Nasraoui was set to remain in hospital for two or three days under observation.

Lamine Yamal, Spain’s youngest ever player, lit up Euro 2024 where he was named Young Player of the Tournament.
