DID YOU KNOW?
The talented teenager was clearly fuming at himself for failing to keep tabs of his passport, as he was forced to rummage through his suitcase on the floor of the car park underneath the Torku Arena in Konya. That search proved fruitless, which did little to lighten Yamal’s mood.
WHAT NEXT FOR YAMAL?
The level of celebrity that Yamal now boasts means that he is in the fortunate position of being able to enjoy special treatment when things go wrong. His passport mishap will have been smoothed out, allowing him to return to Catalonia ahead of Barcelona’s La Liga home date with Valencia on Sunday.
