Spanish Newspaper La Vanguardia Reports Attack on Father of 17-Year-Old Football Star
Incident near Barcelona
Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia says the father of 17-year-old Spain football star Lamine Yamal has been hospitalized after being stabbed near Barcelona.
Details of the Incident
Citing unnamed official sources, the paper said that Mounir Nasraoui was stabbed multiple times in a car park in the north-eastern Spanish town of Mataró, Lamal’s home town.
La Vanguardia said Nasraoui was in serious but stable condition.
Investigation Underway
Some arrests had been made, according to La Vanguardia, without giving details.
Local police did not immediately respond to a request late Wednesday from The Associated Press for comment.
Celebrity Status Not a Factor
Spain won the European Championship in July with Yamal part of the winning team and setting up Nico Williams’ opening goal in a 2-1 win over England. He also won the tournament’s best young player award just a day after he turned 17.
Conclusion
The incident serves as a sobering reminder that even those with the most promising futures can face challenges.
