Lamine Yamal
January 2026

Yamal says he protects his mindset by living like a normal teenager away from training. He avoids obsessing over opponents and tries to switch off from football so the pressure at club and national level does not take over. He describes spending time with friends and family, playing games, and staying away from constant tactical video study. He also said he is excited for the World Cup experience, including visiting Mexico for the first time and trying local food.
