According to a post on X on Sunday, November 1, Barcelona player Lamine Yamal was the subject of some comments from his father, Mounir Nasraoui, who delivered a strong message.

Speaking as he faced a camera, he said: "Listen, I'm going to tell you something, and I want everyone to know this."

"My son's name is Lamine Yamal. Yet, "Yamal" is not his surname, ladies and gentlemen."

"Lamine Yamal's surname is Nasraoui Ebana. I want everyone to understand that."

"Lamine Yamal is his name. That's why his father tells him, 'Lamine Yamal, through the bad times and the good times, my boy. That's how it is.'"

"And remember this: You will never be the best player as long as Lamine Yamal is on the pitch."

Before the clarification, football-related apps such as FotMob, and Sofascore, already portrayed the 19-year-old's name in a way that omitted the surname delivered by his father—even the popular organization, Google, had his name in the form.
