Video of Spanish National Team Star Lamine Yamal Sparks Controversy

A video of Spanish national team star Lamine Yamal has stirred controversy, as he was seen mocking his Spanish teammates during the 2022 World Cup following Morocco's victory. Morocco defeated Spain, eliminating them from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, at which time Yamal was a young player.

Recently, a video surfaced of Yamal among his Spanish teammates, wearing a Morocco national team jersey and mocking their loss to Morocco. He donned the Moroccan team jersey and kissed the badge after Morocco's win over Spain.

This video has angered some Spanish fans, with one user on the platform X stating, "Yamal celebrated when Spain lost to Morocco in the World Cup; Yamal's family should be expelled from the country immediately."

The video was recorded less than two years ago, during the encounter between the Moroccan and Spanish national teams in the Qatar 2022 World Cup. After Morocco's victory and their advance to the quarter-finals, Lamine Yamal mocked his Spanish teammates/friends while wearing our national team's jersey. Wishing Lamine success in his career—he is a great player.

Another activist named Yasujiru remarked, "Ibrahim Diaz chose to represent Spain, but the national team preferred Lamine Yamal, who mocked his Spanish teammates when Morocco knocked Spain out of the World Cup."

Alberto Bougilato wrote, "Mercenary footballers only care about money... here we see Lamine Yamal when Morocco eliminated Spain in the World Cup."

Victoria commented, "Here Lamine Yamal mocks when Spain lost to Morocco in the World Cup... Is he Spanish or Moroccan? Blood cannot change."

It is worth mentioning that Yamal is considered one of the key stars of the Spanish national team during the ongoing Euro 2024 tournament, leading "La Roja" to the final, which they will face against England next Sunday.
