Lamine Yamal seems to have suffered a brutal twist of fate. Fresh off displaying his heroics a month ago in the UEFA Euro, the Spanish winger and his family now face a tremulous period. Recently, news broke that Yamal’s father, Mounir Nasraoui was stabbed. The incident has sent shockwaves around the world as we uncover how, where, and why the unfortunate event transpired.

The report was first brought to light by the Spanish outlet ‘La Vanguardia’ on Wednesday night. It claimed that Mounir Nasraoui was stabbed at a car park based in Mataró, a town in Catalonia, Spain. This saw the 17-year-old’s father quickly being rushed to the hospital. However, he was eventually forced to be transferred to another facility, specifically the Can Ruti Badalona-based hospital.

The aforementioned source revealed that Nasraoui’s prognosis is quite serious. It is said that he was stabbed in the back as the medics were called onto the scene by several eyewitnesses. Fortunately, Relevo reported that Nasraoui is now in stable condition but still hasn’t been discharged from the Can Ruti hospital. Doctors are keen to keep Yamal’s father under more observation.

It was just over a month ago that Nasraoui was seen celebrating his son’s European victory with La Roja. Luis de la Fuente’s side had clinched a 2-1 victory against England to win the prestigious tournament after 12 years, having last won it in 2012. Yamal had played a crucial role for the Spaniards throughout the tournament.

The youngster was in contention to kickstart his fresh domestic campaign under new Barcelona manager Hansi Flick. However, the latest off-pitch development has snatched his focus from there. Now, coming back to the incident, why exactly Yamal’s father was stabbed?

Why was Lamine Yamal’s father stabbed?

As of now, it’s unclear what the intention of the culprits was. However, the local police officials haven’t ruled out the fact that it has something to do with Mounir Nasraoui’s involvement in a previous feud. The reports revealed that Nasraoui was walking his dog in the Rocafonda neighborhood when someone shouted at him and threw water from a balcony.

This confrontation escalated into a fight, ultimately resulting in the unfortunate aftermath. While the argument may have transpired during the day, the stabbing was later in the afternoon. Notably, the officials were quickly made aware of the incident and even arrested the culprits around 11:00 pm. Neighbors around counted more than eight police cars arriving on the scene.

COPE reported that Mossos and the Municipal Police detained three offenders, while one is yet to be found. Furthermore, the car of Yamal’s father is still parked in the Can Ruti car parking. Meanwhile, his dad still rests in the hospital. Regardless, it’s good that nothing serious occurred to Mounir Nasraoui. Till then, stay tuned for further developments.
