Retired tennis player Rafael Nadal, speaking with Mundo Deportivo, delivered a message to Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal.
Nadal urged the footballer to stay close to people who sincerely want the best for him. Nadal also said that Yamal must listen to their advice, even if it is unpleasant, and he must maintain the right mindset despite the growing attention.
Everyone’s reality is different, and everyone has their own mentality and personality. There are many paths to success, but the way you handle it and live with it for years can make you a balanced and happy person, or on the contrary, success can make you unhappy because the notoriety ends up consuming you.
Yamal is a product of the Barcelona academy and has been playing for the senior team since 2023. In the 2025-26 season, he has six goals and seven assists in 12 matches across all competitions.
After 13 rounds of the 2025-26 La Liga season, the Catalans are in second place in the table with 31 points. In the 14th round, Hans-Dieter Flick’s team will face Alaves. The match will take place on November 29 at 18:15 GMT+3.
