Young Spanish sensation Lamine Yamal has explained how he manages to strike a balance between his schoolwork and football.
Most of us can relate to being under the pressure of school assignments and late submissions and Lamine Yamal, the young Barcelona superstar is no stranger to the same.
At just 16 years old, Lamine Yamal has already made waves in the football world, showcasing his talent on the pitch for Barcelona and earning a spot in Spain's national team for Euro 2024.
But amidst the excitement of playing in one of football's biggest tournaments, Yamal remains grounded, revealing that he's brought his homework with him to Germany.
Yamal's journey to Euro 2024 has been nothing short of remarkable. Making his debut for Barcelona at the age of 15, he quickly became a key player for the Catalan giants.
His impressive performances earned him a call-up to the Spanish national team in September 2023, where he made history by becoming the youngest player to ever feature and score for Barcelona.
Despite his burgeoning football career, Yamal hasn't let his studies fall by the wayside. As he arrives in Germany for Euro 2024, the 16-year-old winger has made sure to bring along his schoolwork.
"I brought my homework here because I'm in the 4th year of ESO," he explained. "I have online classes too and those are going fine. I hope the teacher doesn’t get mad at me."
Yamal's dedication to his education highlights his maturity beyond his years. In Spain, the ESO (Educación Secundaria Obligatoria) is a crucial stage of the education system for students aged 12 to 16.
