Lamine Yamal celebrated his birthday in style. The Barcelona winger had to undergo a medical examination after the party, which was a huge celebration to which he invited the most famous people of the moment. This Sunday, he came of age and, as a result, the contract he signed several weeks ago with Barça came into effect, which will see him earn €20 million, although everything will be made official this week with a photo shoot and videos to announce it.
But it hasn’t all been a party for Lamine Yamal, as he has been heavily criticized in recent hours. One of the main reasons has been the hiring of female models, who were allegedly asked for details about their physical appearance, such as their bra size. He has also been in the spotlight for hiring people with dwarfism purely for entertainment, an issue that has already been denounced by the Association of People with Achondroplasia and Other Skeletal Dysplasias with Dwarfism (ADEE).
Where was Lamine Yamal’s party?
To begin with, it should be noted that the day began for Lamine Yamal with a family celebration. The Barcelona footballer invited his parents, his grandmother, several members of his family, and his closest friends to lunch at the La Cúpula del Garraf restaurant, a venue overlooking the sea that the winger had used on other occasions to celebrate events.
The main event was reserved for the evening. At 9:00 p.m., guests began to arrive at a private estate on the outskirts of Barcelona, more specifically in Olivella. All attendees had to go to a meeting point, from where they were taken to the venue, as Lamine Yamal did not want anything to be leaked to the press and wanted the event to be as private as possible. It should also be noted that the use of cell phones was prohibited, so no one was allowed to bring them to the party that the Barça player had prepared for his coming of age.
The guests at Lamine Yamal’s party
It is said that around 200 people attended Lamine Yamal’s birthday party. Some of them he did not even know personally, but the Barcelona winger wanted these famous VIPs to be present, and they did not hesitate to attend the celebration organized by one of the best soccer players in the world. Obviously, his teammates were invited and didn’t want to miss out. Among them were Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Gavi, Alejandro Balde, Marc Casadó and Pau Cubarsí, but it is also rumored that players from other teams and the Spanish national team attended, although Nico Williams did not.
The rest of the guests came from the world of entertainment and show business. Streamers and content creators such as The Grefg, accompanied by his girlfriend Sofía Fitness, Colombian Westcol, who will be fighting in La Velada, Malaga’s IlloJuan, and the Buyer brothers, presidents of a Kings League team, accepted Lamine Yamal’s invitation. Influencer Marta Díaz, also known for her relationship with Sergio Reguilón, was present. Speed, with almost 40 million followers, also attended the event.
Lamine Yamal also wanted to invite several singers, and it is known, because a video has been leaked, that Chimbala performed at the party organized by the Barcelona soccer player, but other well-known artists from the international scene were also present. Canarian singer Quevedo, Ozuna, and Bad Gyal attended the estate, while Travis Scott, who was also invited, did not attend.
