How does Lamine Yamal escape the pressure at Barcelona?

Lamine Yamal, the 18-year-old Barcelona and Spain star, has discussed how he handles the enormous pressure of his career by actively "disconnecting" from football in his personal time. He emphasizes maintaining a balance, avoiding constant analysis of opponents or matches off the pitch, and instead living like a typical teenager by spending time with friends, playing PlayStation, and looking after his brother.

Looking ahead to the 2026 World Cup in Mexico, Yamal expressed shared excitement within the Spanish national team about the tournament. While focused on winning, he also looks forward to the cultural experience, specifically mentioning his desire to try tacos in Guadalajara, a country he has never visited before.

In a lighter revelation, Yamal shared his childhood love for Pokémon cards, an interest born partly from financial necessity as his family could not always afford video game consoles. He also humorously admitted to being "very bad" at cooking, stating his limited culinary skills extend only to preparing nuggets and fries.
