Father of Spanish Football Star Lamine Yamal Stabbed in Mataró Car Park

The father of 17-year-old Spanish football prodigy Lamine Yamal, Mounir Nasraoui, was reportedly stabbed multiple times in a car park in Mataró, a coastal town north of Barcelona, on Wednesday night. Spanish media sources indicate that the attack occurred after an earlier altercation with a group of individuals.

Catalan police have arrested three people in connection with the incident, with a fourth suspect detained on Thursday morning. Following the attack, Mr. Nasraoui was rushed to a hospital in Barcelona in serious condition. However, reports now indicate that his condition has stabilized.

The stabbing is believed to have taken place near the Rocafonda neighborhood, where Yamal, who plays for Barcelona and is regarded as one of Spain’s most promising young talents, grew up. According to reports, the altercation began earlier in the day when Mr. Nasraoui encountered the group while walking his dog. Hours later, he was confronted by the same individuals in a car park and was violently attacked.

The motive behind the stabbing remains unclear, and investigations are ongoing. Reports suggest that Mr. Nasraoui will remain in the hospital for a few days under observation.
