  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The opportunity for this gift arose when Yamal's headphone sponsor offered a batch intended for his first-team teammates. However, Yamal had a different idea. “It would be better if we gave it to the boys and girls at La Masia,” he suggested, showcasing a mature sense of compassion and sensitivity. Despite his swift ascent to stardom, he remains deeply rooted in his past, expressing a desire to leave a lasting memory for his fellow dreamers at Barca.

  WHAT NEXT FOR YAMAL?

  While Yamal's gesture brought joy to La Masia, his recent injury has cast a shadow over his own holiday season. The young forward suffered a grade 1 ankle ligament injury during Barcelona's 1-0 loss to Leganes in La Liga last Sunday. This setback comes barely a month after recovering from a previous ankle issue, raising concerns about his fitness. He is expected to be sidelined for up to a month and will miss a key game against Atletico Madrid next for Barcelona.
