After Tuesday’s World Cup semi-final victory over France, it was revealed that thieves tried to break into the home base of Spanish sensation Lamine Yamal.
Yamal and Spain cruised to a comfortable 2-0 victory over Didier Deschamps’ French team in Texas, thanks to first-half goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Polo. The reigning European champions’ reward is a place in Sunday’s World Cup final, where they will face either England or Argentina.
Yamal played the entire game and helped Spain reach the major finals. However, according to El Espanyol newspaper, the player discovered within hours of the match that his home in Barcelona had been targeted by robbers.
The report claims Yamal’s home was targeted by robbers shortly after Spain’s victory, but the attempted robbery was thwarted by the 19-year-old’s security team.
They spotted two hooded people hiding in a wall and raised the alarm, and police are now investigating.
Unfortunately, in recent years there have been a number of robberies in which the homes of famous soccer players are broken into, especially when the players in question are playing abroad.
The report notes that two of Yamal’s Barcelona teammates, Pau Kvarsi and João Garcia, were targeted in a robbery in February.

Yamal and Spain will wait on the pitch for the second semi-final between England and Argentina and will find out on Sunday who will be waiting for them in New Jersey.
Luis de la Fuente’s side defeated England in the Euro 2024 final and could face them again in the World Cup final. Thomas Tuchel is now in charge of England, who will not only end their long wait for another big title, but will relish the chance to do it at the expense of the team they broke two years ago.
Argentina defeated France in the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar to become the current world champions and aim to become the third team in history to win the tournament consecutively, along with Italy and Brazil.
