Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal turned 18 on July 13, and the night before, he celebrated his birthday in style, hosting an exclusive party in Barcelona with his closest family and friends from all over the world.
The young forward wanted to keep the celebration private, asking guests not to record any moments during the event. However, as often happens in these situations, some images still found their way online.
One of the leaked clips shows a performance by Dominican artist Chimbala, who was one of the main attractions of the night.
Yamal, dressed in his finest clothes and holding a baton in his right hand, joined the party on stage. He was not alone either, as his Barça teammates Gavi and Alejandro Balde also joined in, enjoying the night without any worries.
The highlight of the night came when Chimbala started singing his popular hit Abusadora. That is when Lamine, alongside Gavi and Balde, grabbed the microphones and began singing along.
Despite being one of the quiet stars on the pitch, Yamal was not shy during his party. He embraced the moment fully, singing with his friends and dancing along to the music.
The atmosphere throughout the night was vibrant and filled with memorable moments. From live music to the players performing their favourite songs, it was a true celebration of friendship, joy, and the start of a new chapter in Yamal’s life.
Turning 18 is a milestone, especially for someone like Yamal, who is already making waves at the top level of football.
Now, the player returns to club duties. Today, he will undergo the necessary and mandatory medical checkups and it is very much likely that he will be unveiled as Barcelona’s new number 10 after that.
