Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal is a name not just on Celtic fans’ lips, but with supporters of clubs all around the world.
The young Spaniard burst onto the scene after making his debut for Barcelona in 2023, becoming the La Liga giants’ youngest ever debutant at 15 years, nine months and 16 days.
Celtic fans have enjoyed Yamal’s performances for the Catalan club and already the 17-year-old has won two La Ligas, a Spanish Cup and Euro 2024 with Spain.
Yamal’s dad has an affinity for Celtic after being snapped in a Hoops tracksuit back in October 2023 and now, Mounir Nasraoui, has shown his love for the green and white Hoops.

What Lionel Messi said about Celtic when playing for Barcelona
Celtic have faced Barcelona on the European stage on many occasions over the years.
The most famous win was the 2012 2-1 Parkhead victory when Neil Lennon’s Bhoys beat Messi’s Barcelona in that famous Celtic Park Champions League night.
After the defeat, Messi said of Celtic and the fans, “I’ve been fortunate to play in some great stadiums in Europe with Barcelona but none compare to Celtic.
“The atmosphere their fans create make it a very special European night of football.
“I’m very excited to play at Celtic again in the group stages. Of course, last time we played in Scotland it was not a good result for us, but next time we will be looking to win.”
