In a documentary, Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal disclosed that he doesn’t really care about what people say about him online, whether it’s racist or not.
In October, when Barcelona crushed their fiercest rivals, Real Madrid 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu, the 17-year-old experienced racial taunts for the first time during a game.
The young superstar has always been eager to honor his childhood, and he has trademarked a celebration in which he points his palms toward the camera to form the number “304.”
It alludes to the end of the distinctly working-class postal code for the neighborhood of Rocafonda, where he was raised. However, Yamal clarified that his mother kept him out of trouble.

“I always tell her I’m so grateful because, despite how difficult things were for her, she made it so that I didn’t see anything bad.
Maybe I didn’t have the best childhood in the world, but she made sure I didn’t see anything. I only saw the beautiful and enjoyed myself. I have nothing to reproach her for,” he told DAZN, as quoted by Sport.
According to Yamal, his mother was more worried about the racial insults he received at the Santiago Bernabeu from Real Madrid supporters than he was.
“My mother was very worried; she thought I might be sad. She called me worried and was surprised because I was happy with my friends because we had won.
It’s also true that if we had lost, it might have affected me more. In the end, the important thing is to enjoy life. When someone insults you, and on top of that, they’re angry because they lost, I don’t think you should pay attention.”
