Barcelona’s young star, Lamine Yamal, has recently made an incredible gesture that has touched many people at the club’s famed La Masia academy, reports Mundo Deportivo.
In a heartwarming move, Yamal donated over 100 pairs of high-quality headphones to the young residents at La Masia, a gesture that demonstrates his thoughtful nature and gratitude for the academy that played a key role in his development.
When the headphone brand that sponsors him offered Yamal several pairs to give to his first-team teammates, he made a decision that would impact the young players at La Masia instead.
Yamal expressed that it would be more meaningful to share the gift with the boys and girls living there.
“It would be better if we gave it to the boys and girls at La Masia,” he said.
His selfless action has been met with admiration from everyone at the Oriol Tort Training Centre, as it reflects a deep level of care for those who share the same journey he once did.

This week, Yamal surprised the young players with a gift of state-of-the-art Beats headphones, each one accompanied by a personalised card signed by the 17-year-old striker.
The card included a heartfelt message that read, “So you can enjoy the music,” along with fun emojis of a dancing man and headphones. This simple but meaningful gesture shows that despite his fast rise to fame, Yamal has not forgotten where he came from.
La Masia holds a special place in Yamal’s heart, as it was his home for many years. Just two months ago, the talented forward moved to live closer to Barcelona’s Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, but the bond he shares with La Masia remains strong.
The donation has been received with great enthusiasm, as it goes beyond just the value of the gift. The gesture has shown the young players that success and fame do not make you forget your roots.
It is worth mentioning that Beats has designed special headphones for Yamal, featuring custom graffiti that reflects his origins and football journey.
After winning the prestigious Golden Boy award, he was also gifted an exclusive gold model of the headphones, marking a significant milestone in his career.
