A case of attempted robbery unfolded at Lamine Yamal’s house in Barcelona hours after his FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-final match, where Spain defeated France to confirm their entry into the final. According to reports from La Vanguardia, some thieves attempted to trespass on his property in Esplugues de Llobregat early in the morning. The security team reacted promptly and managed to stop the intruders. When all of this was happening in Barcelona, Yamal was in Dallas, celebrating the historic semi-final victory with his Spanish teammates.
The 19-year-old was the architect of the breakthrough goal that gave them an early lead in the first half. He earned a penalty, forcing Lucas Digne to make an untimely challenge inside the box. Mikel Oyarzabal converted from the spot to open the scoring. Pedro Porro later doubled their advantage in the second half, as Spain booked their ticket into the World Cup final for the first time since 2010, when they overcame the Netherlands to lift their only title in history.
