The father of Spain Euro 2024 star Lamine Yamal has been rushed to hospital after being stabbed in a car park on Wednesday evening, according to reports.
Daily Mail reports that a fight reportedly broke out in the parking lot with Nasraoui being stabbed ‘multiple times’.
Witnesses who watched the stabbing unfold have reportedly been approached by local police in Mataro as law enforcement rallies to unearth crucial information about the attack.
Video footage has emerged of the apparent earlier confrontation between Nasraoui and other members of the community before Yamal’s father was led away by police.
Yamal was Spain’s star of the tournament, with his father previously declaring that the rising superstar could ‘be greater than [Lionel] Messi.’
The reports quoted La Vanguardia that, Nasraoui was left “in a serious condition and was taken to the nearby Can Ruti hospital in Badalona in an ambulance following the stabbing.”
Mounir Nasraoui was in the Spanish town of Mataro where he is understood to have been attacked and has since been rushed to hospital.
Another Spanish outlet, Relevo, has reported that while Nasraoui remains in hospital he is ‘out of danger’.
Nasraoui has been his son’s biggest supporters over the years and was present as 17-year-old Yamal secured the European Championship title with Spain where they beat England in the final.
