The birthday party of Lamine Yamal, which was meant to be a celebratory and private affair, has sparked controversy that refuses to die down. From questionable entertainment choices to growing public criticism, the event continues to make headlines. Now, the player's father, Mounir Nasraoui, has spoken—albeit briefly—about the situation.

Ongoing Repercussions of a High-Profile Celebration

Held under a gangster-themed concept, the party brought together more than 200 guests, including several FC Barcelona players, influencers, musicians, and close friends of the rising star. However, backlash erupted when it was revealed that people with dwarfism were hired purely for entertainment purposes. This practice has been condemned by advocacy groups and is now under investigation by Spanish authorities.

The Antena 3 program “Y ahora Sonsoles” explored the issue in-depth. Journalist Pipi Estrada reported that individuals close to Barcelona are deeply concerned about Yamal’s public image following the event. He drew comparisons to Franco Mastantuono, Real Madrid’s new signing, stating that such a party "would never happen" under the leadership of Florentino Pérez.

A Reserved Statement From Yamal’s Father

Reporters from the show were present throughout the festivities, from the family lunch at the upscale La Cúpula del Garraf to the private evening gathering at a luxurious mansion in Olivella. Lamine Yamal’s grandfather described it as a “family party” and said he had a great time at the lunch.

The spotlight eventually shifted to Mounir Nasraoui, the player’s father, who was approached on the street by reporter Andrea Suñé. When asked about the party, he kept his response brief, stating only that it was "very good" and advising the journalist to “go find it,” referring to the details of the celebration. He did not engage further with the media.

The incident continues to stir debate, and so far, FC Barcelona has made no official comments.
