Lamine Yamal: Barcelona wonderkid gifted Dragon Ball Z-themed cake ahead of big 18th birthday party in Ibiza

Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal has kicked off his 18th birthday with a heartwarming pre-celebration among close family and friends.

Although the official date of his birthday is Sunday, 13 July, the 2024 Kopa Trophy winner chose to mark the milestone a day early, opting for an intimate gathering at the picturesque La Cúpula restaurant in Garraf.

As reported by Mundo Deportivo, Yamal was joined by his parents, younger brother, grandmother, and a small circle of friends. 

In a touching nod to his roots, the young forward was gifted a custom Goku-themed lithograph that depicted him with his mother and brother, reflecting the tight-knit bond the trio shares.

But the surprise didn’t end there. 

The cake was really eye-catching.

 Themed in matching Dragon Ball Z style, the three-tiered masterpiece was filled with cream and dulce de leche, according to the Spanish outlet, a sweet tribute to a young man who has remained remarkably grounded despite his meteoric rise.

As per COPE, Lamine Yamal is set to host an exclusive and ultra-private bash on the glamorous island of Ibiza. 

The guest list has reportedly been curated with precision, comprising VIPs from both football and entertainment circles, though the exact venue remains strictly confidential.

Some of the rumoured high profile guests include F1 icon Lewis Hamilton and famous YouTube star iShowSpeed.

It has also been claimed reggaeton legend Ozuna and Spain’s own Bad Gyal will perform live at the celebration while Rauw Alejandro is said to have been invited.

While no official confirmations have been made, insider reports suggest that all attendees have been asked to adhere to a strict no-mobile-phone policy, a move intended to preserve the privacy of the affair and prevent leaks on social media.
