Father of Spain’s football star Lamine Yamal stabbed in shocking attack

A shocking incident has shaken the family of Spain’s young football star, Lamine Yamal. His father, Mounir Nasraoui, was stabbed multiple times in a car park on Wednesday night.

The attack happened in Mataró, the coastal town just north of Barcelona where Yamal grew up.

According to reports, Nasraoui had an argument earlier in the day with a group of people while walking his dog. Hours later, the same group reportedly approached him again, this time with violent intent.

Catalan police have confirmed that at least three people have been arrested in connection with the stabbing.

Nasraoui was rushed to a hospital in Barcelona. Though initially in serious condition, he is now stable and under observation.

The motive behind the attack is still unknown, leaving many in the community on edge. Spanish newspaper El Pais suggests that the earlier argument may have escalated into the violent confrontation.

This tragic event comes just weeks after Lamine Yamal made history at Euro 2024. The 17-year-old was named Young Player of the Tournament and was pivotal in Spain’s 2-1 victory over England in the final.

“Everyone here is in shock,” said a local resident. “Lamine has made us so proud, and now this happens to his family.”

*Relevo* reports that Nasraoui will remain in the hospital for a few more days under close watch.

As the investigation continues, all eyes are on Mataró, a town that now carries both the pride of a champion and the pain of a violent crime.
