Morocco’s best player of 1998, Mustafa Hadji, spoke about Barcelona and Spain winger Lamin Yamal. His words are quoted by La Razón.

“Even if he plays for Spain, the love that the Spaniards will feel for him will never be the same as the love that the Moroccans feel for him.

It’s sad because recently I read in a Spanish newspaper how some journalists said: “We have Pedro, we love Pedro. We love Yamal, but not as much as Pedri.” It means he was wrong.

He will always remain Moroccan, even if he plays for Spain,” Haji said.

As part of the Spanish national team, Lamine Yamal played 23 matches, scored 6 goals and provided 12 assists.
