Young Barcelona and Spain sensation, Lamine Yamal, isn’t actually bearing his family surname -and the reason behind his name is deeply emotional and touching.

His parents, Mounir Nasraoui and Sheila Ebana, once faced severe financial hardship and were helped by a kind couple named Lamine and Yabal, who gave them shelter when they couldn’t afford rent.

In gratitude, the couple vowed to name their son Lamine Yamal, that promise became a reality when the son was born – and eventually grew into one othe most exciting football talent of his generation.

Naming his son Lamine Yamal honored the generosity that shaped their lives during their darkest times – a name that now echoes across world football.
