Spanish football sensation Lamine Yamal has been enjoying his vacation since taking the football world by storm after winning the European Championship with Spain last month at the age of 17.
The Barcelona forward is yet to return to club action as he takes some well-deserved time off, but that didn’t stop him from linking up with Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., the son of the renowned five-time Ballon d’Or winner and Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo.
The young prodigy is expected to rejoin Barcelona training in mid-August, just in time for the new season.
An image of the two young stars together was shared by Lamine Yamal’s father, Mounir Nasroui, who is active across social media and frequently updates fans about his son.
Lamine Yamal gained global attention following his impressive Euro 2024 campaign and has become the Spanish media’s new obsession. Combine him with Cristiano Ronaldo and you’d imagine you get a few clicks.
The photo was captioned “The Royals” by Nasroui and this rather unexpected encounter has piqued the interest of fans from both Barcelona and Real Madrid, offering a light-hearted break from the rivalry between the two clubs.
As Lamine Yamal continues to rise as one of football’s brightest young talents, fans are desperate to see if Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. will follow in his father’s illustrious footsteps.
Fans also spot that Ronaldo’s son looks physically as good as Yamal despite being 3 years younger.
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. may only be 14 but that is less than two years away from the age that Lamine Yamal made his debut for Barcelona.
