Lamine Yamal:

On the eve of the quarter-final game against Belgium, the Spanish press asked him how he dealt with the pressure of playing football in front of millions, the hopes of a nation riding on his shoulders. He questioned the premise: “My mum had me when she was 16. That’s real pressure. My dad had to do whatever he could and pick things up off the streets just to bring food home. That’s real pressure. All I have to do is play football and make the Spanish people proud.”

Me entró algo al ojo 🥲. Excelente artículo sobre el fútbol y las figuras de referencia.
