Lamine Yamal
Spanish footballer
Lamine Yamal’s rise continues to reach new milestones, and his latest one has grabbed attention around the world. The young Barcelona forward is set to appear on the American news program “60 Minutes.” That makes him only the fourth footballer to ever feature on the show.
It’s a rare honour. Only three players have appeared before him on “60 Minutes”: Lionel Messi, David Beckham and Christian Pulisic. Being added to such a short and high-profile list shows how quickly Yamal has become one of football’s most talked-about young stars.
CBS has already shared previews of the segment. The clips focus on Yamal’s early journey, his inspirations and his growth at Barcelona. The interview also looks at his mindset, his rapid development and the pressure he faces at such a young age.
For a player at the start of his career, this level of worldwide attention is unusual. It highlights his impact both on and off the pitch.
“60 Minutes” rarely features footballers. The show usually focuses on global figures, cultural icons and influential personalities. That makes Yamal’s appearance stand out even more.
