A video has circulated on social media showing fans welcoming "Barselona" and Spain national team wing defender Lamin Yamal at the airport. This was reported by www.euro-football.ru.
This encounter was not particularly pleasant or positive. Perhaps a group of French fans tried to provoke the 17-year-old footballer.
One of the fans loudly told Yamal that he was acting very big. Another fan shouted, "Ballon d'Or – Dembélé!"
Lamin Yamal did not respond to the fans' actions, and for this reason, he was praised by the Spanish press. It is also possible that Yamal did not fully understand the meaning of the fans' words.
This incident demonstrated the young footballer's patience and professional attitude. In such situations, it is important for athletes to maintain calm and not escalate the situation further.
Such actions by fans are contrary to the spirit of sports and, instead of supporting the sport, have a negative impact. Lamin Yamal's silence in this situation indicates that he has a strong character.
Respecting and supporting footballers should be the main duty of fans
