Watch your back — Yamal's father addresses allegations from son's 18th birthday party

Lamine Yamal recently inherited the number 10 jersey at Barcelona, and his father was around during the commemoration of the event. 

Mounir Masraoui, the patron of Yamal's family, spoke to the press. After the event, he was sure to address the controversy that emanated from his son's birthday party, labelling his detractors as jealous. 

As Pulse Sports reported, Yamal had his birthday party on July 12, and many details from the event have been permeating the internet. 

Celebrity Latin pop stars were in attendance, as well as some present and past footballers. The dress code of the party was said to be Mafia-themed, and dwarf entertainers were also invited. 

Spain's Association of People with Achondroplasia and Other Bone Dysplasias (ADEE) were sparked by the revelation that entertainers with dwarfism were used at the birthday party and released a statement, vowing to take legal action against the party organisers. 

After the event, Mounir spoke to Europa Press, insisting that his son had done no wrong and that he would be the first to reprimand him if he crossed the line. 

“People, instead of looking at themselves, look at others in the distance, and then they will be dying of jealousy. This is their problem,” he said, per Sport.

“Those who speak ill of my son should watch their backs and watch them carefully, because Lamine is the greatest thing I have, and that’s it. I believe he’s also the greatest thing we’ve ever had in football.

“I would be the first to clip my son around the ears and tell him, ‘Lamine, you can’t be doing that, my son…’ but he hasn’t done anything wrong.”

Meanwhile, Lamine Yamal's father, Mounir Nasraoui, was stabbed approximately a year ago. The incident took place in Mataró, a town near Barcelona, where Nasraoui resides. He was taken to the Can Ruti Hospital in Badalona.

Despite being the victim of the stabbing, Crónica Global, via Abola, revealed that he, Noussair, is under investigation.
