The attack is said to have happened in the open street. The background is still unclear. According to reports, the attack was preceded by an argument.
According to media reports, the father of Spanish European football champion Lamine Yamal was stabbed to death. Mounir Nasraoui was attacked late Wednesday evening in the city of Mataró, around 30 kilometers northeast of Barcelona, as the newspaper “La Vanguardia” and other Spanish media reported, citing the police. The police confirmed on the platform X that they had arrested a total of four suspects.
Nasraoui suffered two stab wounds in the abdomen and one in the chest. He was taken to a hospital in Badalona, a suburb of Barcelona, in a serious condition. His life is not in danger. His condition is stable, reported “La Vanguardia”. Yamal has not yet visited his father in the hospital because of the media hype, but has taken part in his club’s training. Both spoke to each other on the phone, however, as Spanish media reported.
Investigations and arrests
The arrested men are accused of attempted murder. According to reports, the attack was preceded by an argument in the afternoon in Yamal’s Rocafonda district. Someone threw water from a balcony onto Yamal’s father. This led to a scuffle that had to be broken up by the police. According to eyewitnesses, those involved in the argument later carried out the knife attack, wrote “La Vanguardia”. The motive for the argument was not initially known.
Yamal, who plays for FC Barcelona, won the European Championship with the Spanish national team. He grew up in Rocafonda, a district of Mataró that is dominated by immigrants, mainly from Africa. His father is from Morocco, his mother from Equatorial Guinea. Yamal, who is only 17 years old, is a great role model for many children in Rocafonda.
