The grandmother of Barcelona and Spanish national team player Lamine Yamal stated in a media interview that her grandson has no connection to Morocco.
«He was born here, he studied here. This boy is not from Morocco, do you understand me? My son was not forced to do anything», she said.
The 17-year-old Yamal chose to represent the Spanish national team, despite efforts by the Royal Moroccan Football Association to convince him to play for the Atlas Lions.
