The electrifying winger continued to shine with an outstanding performance against Italy on Thursday night, where Spain triumphed over the defending champions with a single goal.

According to GOAL, Spain triumphed over the defending champions with a single goal.

Yamal consistently posed a threat, effortlessly dribbling through Italy's defence with the finesse of a slippery eel evading capture.

Although he has yet to score in the tournament, the youngster has been a joy for La Roja fans and a nightmare for his opponents.

Yamal reportedly buys 3 houses for his family

As reported by Spanish publication Diario Sport, Yamal bought apartments for his mother, father, and grandmother in the Barcelona area.

This is particularly noteworthy given that Yamal is currently one of Barcelona's lowest-paid players. Before his earnings increase, he ensures his family enjoys the best living conditions.

Yamal places great importance on his family and his origins, symbolized by his signature '304' celebration.

According to Tribuna, '304' represents the zip code of Rocafonda, one of Catalonia's poorest neighbourhoods, where Yamal grew up.

The young star proudly honours his roots, even emblazoning '304' on his boots as a constant reminder of his humble beginnings.

How Lamine is balancing education with football

Meanwhile, the Barcelona wonderkid has discussed how he manages to balance his education with football as he gears up for his first international tournament with Spain, as reported by Sports Brief.

Lamine explained that he takes extra online classes and hopes his tutors will be understanding.

He also shared that he brought his homework to the tournament, showcasing his strong determination to graduate from high school successfully.
