Lamine Yamal has lit up the UEFA Euro like no one else. Now he is just a game away from becoming the youngest European Cup winner. If Yamal is winning big on the pitch, his proud father Mounir Nasraoui is going the extra mile on social media to boost his son’s stardom. Nasraoui shook the world with pictures from an old photoshoot that showed Lionel Messi bathing a baby Yamal. Now, the Spaniard’s father has come up with a heartfelt 22-word message to wish him well for the last battle against England.

When he graces the Olympiastadion in Berlin for the UEFA Euro final, Lamine Yamal would become the youngest player in the competition’s history to reach that far. Therefore, Nasraoui couldn’t help but take immense pride in his son’s achievement and congratulate him.

Lamine Yamal gets proud father’s heartfelt message on his special day!

Lamine Yamal’s father Mounir took to Instagram with a picture of him performing the iconic knee slide celebration after scoring the semi-final screamer against France. Captioning the post, Yamal’s father wrote, “Congratulations my boy that you fulfill many more. I wish you all the best in this life. I love you very much.” Well, is this Mounir congratulating the Spanish prodigy for his showdown against France? He is not. If you aren’t aware, Yamal just turned 17 years old today!

Yes, so this was Yamal’s father’s way of wishing the golden boy on his birthday. Since the Spaniard is already in his sweet 17, his father wants him to make the celebrations by winning the UEFA Euro silverware tomorrow. Mounir Nasraoui asked his son to “fulfill” more because Yamal had notably set his eyes on the UEFA Euro trophy and the FIFA World Cup trophy before committing to Spain. Courtesy of his father’s Moroccan roots and his mother’s Equatoguinean roots, both these countries competed to lure Yamal to their teams. But the 17-year-old insisted on defending the Espana crest with eyes on international trophies.

Let’s now see how Yamal celebrated his birthday.

Inside Lamine Yamal’s birthday bash

Lamine Yamal’s birthday celebration was one any baller could ask for. Alongside his Spanish teammates, clad in La Roja colors, Yamal celebrated his birthday by cutting a cake that was a replica of the ball- Adidas Fussballliebe, used in the ongoing UEFA Euros. Alongside the ball-themed cake, Yamal has placed the pair of his custom Adidas F50 boots, which bear the flags of his parent countries- Morocco and Equatorial Guinea.

Besides this, the 17-year-old posted a picture from his La Masia days as a child on his Instagram stories. He also shared a picture his mother Sheila Ebana had posted to wish her son well during his big day.

Yamal has started for Spain in all six of their games in the Euros so far. He has 3 assists and a goal to his tally. If Spain were to oust England and bring home their record 4th Euro title, Yamal would perhaps leave the tournament as its best player. If that is not the perfect birthday gift, we don’t know what else is.
