Joan Laporta, the president of FC Barcelona, commented on the controversy surrounding the celebration held for Lamin Yamal's 18th birthday. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The young forward faced criticism on social media as shorter artists were invited as entertainers for the event. Laporta emphasized that the celebration was a private event and that there was nothing wrong with it.
He expressed regret for not being able to attend. The celebration was a personal event held with friends, and the youth chose a style that was joyful for them.
Yamal organized it at a high level. The next day, he showed the best results in training.
There is no basis for criticizing him. On the contrary, he deserves praise for celebrating the event and returning to work on time, Laporta said in an interview with Mundo Deportivo.
