Lamine Yamal has opened up on how he deals with the growing pressure that comes with playing for Barcelona, insisting he tries not to let football take over his life.
The teenage winger, who has quickly become one of the brightest young talents at the club, said he makes a clear effort to “disconnect” away from the pitch and keep his routine normal despite the demands and noise that surround him.
“I try not to focus solely on football,” Yamal explained, describing how switching off and spending time on other things helps him stay relaxed and avoid feeling weighed down by expectation.
Yamal’s rise has brought constant attention, but he stressed that stepping away from the game in his downtime is key to maintaining balance, even while representing one of the biggest clubs in the world.
His comments offer a glimpse into the mindset behind his progress, with the Barcelona youngster determined to keep his feet on the ground while continuing to develop under intense scrutiny.
