Watch: Barcelona sensation hilariously asked by tourists to take their photo without recognising him | OneFootball

In a short span of time, Lamine Yamal has risen to fame as one of Barcelona’s brightest young talents.

His name has become synonymous with scintillating performances on the field, but recently, it was his off-field charm that stole the spotlight in an amusing encounter with a group of fans.

Yamal, who had just finished a meal with friends at a well-known restaurant in the neighbourhood of Barcelona, was about to make his way out when a group of female tourists gathered outside the establishment.

The tourists were excited about their visit to the city and eager to capture memories, and when they saw the young player walking by, one of them asked him to take a picture of the group.

A moment to savour

With a mix of hesitation and curiosity, one of the tourists approached Yamal and asked, “What’s your name?” The young Barcelona forward, ever the good sport, flashed a smile and quickly responded, “Rayan.”

It was clear that he was playing along with the situation, giving an alternative name rather than revealing his true identity, perhaps as a way to add a little fun to the exchange.

However, the moment took an even more humorous turn when another tourist recognised him as none other than Lamine Yamal.

Despite the mix-up, Yamal did not show any signs of annoyance or frustration. Instead, he handled the situation with the kind of calm and humour.

Instead of simply walking away or being annoyed by the confusion, Yamal agreed to take a photo for the group of tourists, all while laughing at the fun of the situation.

For the tourists, it was a funny and unforgettable moment to tell their friends and families. For Yamal, it was yet another example of how, despite the immense pressure and attention that come with being a rising football star, he remains grounded and approachable.
