The very first thing Xavi asked Lamine Yamal at Roberto’s farewell – spotted
On Tuesday, Barcelona hosted a special tribute to bid farewell to Sergi Roberto, who’s leaving the club after 15 years. The Catalan icons Gerard Pique, Carles Puyol and Xavi all came to honour their longtime teammate.
The ex-Blaugrana coach took some time to greet the current squad.
When he approached Lamine Yamal — the youngster he discovered and gave a path to the senior team — the first thing he asked him was to..take a photo with his six-year-old son Dan, who was proudly wearing a Barca shirt with Yamal’s name on the back.
What’s wild is that Lamine is still a kid himself, but is already someone else’s idol.
Now that’s what you call making an impact!
