At just 17 years old, the FC Barcelona wonderkid scored a brilliant goal in the 2025 Spanish Super Cup Final against Real Madrid, and the club celebrated it with a bold message on social media:
“Lamine Yamal, a father at 17 😔”.

The phrase was posted on Barça’s official X account (@FCBarcelona_es) alongside the video of Yamal’s goal in the 21st minute, which leveled the match 1-1. The Clásico eventually ended in a resounding 5-2 win for Barcelona, and the clip quickly went viral.

“Father at 17”: Football Slang with Bite

The post sparked massive reaction online, garnering over 100,000 views within hours and igniting fierce debate between Barça and Madrid fans.

Beyond the banter, Yamal’s consistency in high-pressure matches cements his status as the face of Barcelona’s future—a generational talent already delivering on the biggest stages.
