Lamine Yamal, the rising star of Barcelona and the Spain national team, has been making headlines not just for his extraordinary football talent but also for his personal life.
Following Spain’s impressive Euro 2024 victory, the 17-year-old winger has confirmed his relationship with social media influencer Alex Padilla, who has garnered a following of over 300,000 on TikTok.
The couple celebrated together post-match, going public for the first time with their relationship.
Padilla was reportedly a familiar face throughout the tournament, attending multiple Spain matches and often spotted alongside Yamal’s family.
Yamal’s Euro 2024 journey was historic. He made his debut at just 16 years and 338 days, becoming the youngest player ever to participate in the tournament.
With four assists, including one in the final, and a remarkable goal in the semi-final against France, he not only led his team to victory but also earned the award of Young Player of the Tournament.
