Spain manager Luis de la Fuente rejected the idea that Lamine Yamal was unprofessional in any way after a number of controversial incidents surrounding his personal life, citing the success tennis superstar Carlos Alcaraz has had while still enjoying his time off the court.
Yamal, Barcelona’s prodigious winger, made headlines over the summer after throwing an extravagant 18th birthday party. The teenager was accused of hiring people with dwarfism purely for the purposes of entertainment and found himself facing legal action. The bizarre scenario escalated to the point where the Spanish government threatened to investigate the event.
